Answer:
 the net cost of debt to a firm is generally less than the cost of equity. 
Explanation:
If we assume both, investor in firms and lender to firms want's a certain return x
because the lender return (the interest) are tax deductible the net cost of debt will be:  x ( 1 - t)
where t is the tax rate being rate beteen 0 and 1
as 1 less a fraction will be less than 1 we can stablish that:
x > x(1 - t)
x is the cost of equity
while x(1-t) is the net cost of debt
therefore, the cost of debt is lower than cost of equity.

Answer:
To find the present value of the interest payments, multiply <u>$3,000</u> by the present value factor <u>8.1109</u>.
Explanation:
the market price of the bonds:
- present value of face value = $100,000 / (1 + 4%)¹⁰ = $67,556.47
- present value of coupon payments = $3,000 x 8.1109 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 10 periods) = $24,332.70
market price = $91,889.17
Since the market rate is higher than the coupon rate, the bonds will be sold at a discount.
