Answer:

The after tax cost of debt is

D) 7.0%

Explanation:

In order to find the firms after tax cost of debt we have to find it's pre tax cost of debt, which is also the yield to maturity or interest rate of the bond. In order to find it we need 4 other variables, the par value or future value of the bond, the present value of the bond, the coupon payments and the number of maturity periods.  

The present value is 908.72, the future value is 1,000, the coupon payment is (0.09*1000*0.5)= 45. We multiply the 9% coupon rate with the future value of the bond and divide it by 2 as 9 is the coupon rate and because there are semi annual payments we will divide it by 2. The number of periods are (25*2) as there are 25 years to maturity and 2 payment periods each year so number of periods are 50.

We need to put all these values in a financial calculator

Pv= 908.72

FV=-1000

PMT= -45

N= 50

Compute I=5.00

This is the semi annual interest rate so we will multiply it by 2 to find the yearly interest rate so 5*2= 10.

10% is the pre tax cost of debt and now we will multiply it by (1-tax rate) to find the after tax cost of debt

0.1*0.7= 0.07= 7%

What is organic manure? how can it help to farmer. Ans from class 8 <br>​
ra1l [238]

Answer:

manure that is from decayed plaint and animal matter, helps crops consume more nutrients.

Explanation:

organic manure is derived from decayed plant/animal matter. Inorganic manure, exclusively now referred to as fertilizers, are chemicals produced by controlled chemical processes. manure increases organic carbon in soil and thus leads to higher organic matter in soil. organic matter is the soil fertilities assessment index. If there is enough organic matter in the soil, there would be more microbe development, so crops will consume more nutrients from the soil.

hope this helped!
