Answer:

b. 8.225%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.

The NPER represents the time period.

Given that,

Present value = $754.08

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000

PMT = 1,000 × 7.25% ÷ 2 = $36.25

NPER = 9 years × 2 = 18 years

The formula is shown below:

= Rate(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this,

1. The pretax cost of debt is 11.75%

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 11.75% × ( 1 - 0.30)

= 8.225%

Answer and Explanation:

An investment when it would be risk free in that case both the principal and the interest amount are to be paid within the prescribed time. Also when the U.S government bonds i.e. long term would be issued by the government have a lesser interest rate as compared with the other riskier securities available at the market place this is because as the government would default next to zero in case of the short term it would make the default when there are extreme situations arise.
