    Corporate bond will have more profit

    Explanation:

    The various calculations of municipal bond and corporate bond are as follows

    After tax yield of municipal bond = 0.054 (1 - 0.28)

    After tax yield of municipal bond = 0.0389 or 3.89%

    After tax yield of corporate bond = 0.0715 (1 - 0.28)

    After tax yield of corporate bond = 0.0515 or 6.15%

    Thus, Corporate bond will have more profit
