The implied tax rate is 17.77%

Solution:

The corresponding tax rate estimate. We learn the following in the light of the knowledge from the question:

Municipal bond =1.48%  

Corporate bond =1.80%  

We are doing the following to determine the implicit tax rate,

Implicit tax rate = (0.018-0.0148)/0.018  

                          = 0.0032/0.018

                          =0.177 or 17.77%  

Therefore, The implied tax rate is 17.77%
