AFMCalculating market yield for bonds

SStudent00017y ago
Pre-tax After-tax Year Year 0 -95 0 -95 1 4 1 3.32 2 4 2 3.32 3 4 3 3.32 4 104 4 103.32 IRR 5.4% IRR 4.7% With tax rate at 17%, I have calculated after-tax coupon payments to be 4 x 0.83 = 3.32. The second table gives me after-tax market yield of the bond at 4.7% whereas the first table gives me 5.4% x 0.83 = 4.5%. Which method is correct and why? Thanks
