Computation of Annual After-tax Rate of Return if the Bond matures in 1 year:

Annual After-tax Rate of Return = Before-tax Rate * (1 - Tax Rate)

                                   = 5%*(1-32%)

                                 = 3.40%

 

Computation of Annual After-tax Rate of Return if the Bond matures in 10 years:

Since there is no difference in face value ($10,000) and purchase price ($10,000), the rate of return becomes unchanged. This would be 3.40% too, although the years of maturity increase to 10.
