Answer:

a.) increased the after-tax cost of debt

Explanation:

Missing options are:

a.) increased the after-tax cost of debt

b.) did not change the after-tax cost of debt

c.) increased the value of the deduction for interest expense

d.) decreased the after-tax cost of debt

The after tax cost of debt is calculated by multiplying the debt's principal x interest rate x (1 - tax rate). If the tax rate decreases, the after tax cost of debt increases. e.g.

$1,000 owed at 6%, when tax rate was 40% ⇒ after tax cost of debt = $1,000 x 6% x (1 - 40%) = $36 or 3.6%

now, $1,000 owed at 6%, when tax rate is 21% ⇒ after tax cost of debt = $1,000 x 6% x (1 - 21%) = $47.40 or 4.74%

Answer:

Dr Estimated Warranty Liability $8,600

Cr               Spare Parts Inventory  $8,600

Explanation:

The estimated warranty claim is worth $7,600 which means that the warranty claim must be debited by this amount as it was previously forecasted to be at $11,000 and in this month, the claim was worth $7,600.

Dr Estimated Warranty Liability $8,600

Cr               Spare Parts Inventory  $8,600
