    Surething Inc. must give an interest rate of 17.33 percent to generate a 10.40 percent after-tax return and make Hugh indifferent between investing in the two bonds.

    To solve for the pretax rate of return, we can use this formula:

    After-tax return = Pre-tax return x (1 - Marginal Tax Rate).

    10.40% = Pre-tax return x (1 - Marginal Tax Rate);

    Pre-tax return = 10.40% / (1 - Marginal Tax Rate) = 17.33%
