Answer:

The correct answer is 6.84%.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Coupon = 10%

yield to maturity = 14%

Marginal Tax rate = 40%

Here, Issue new bond at par show that YTM = Coupon rate

So, we can calculate the after tax cost of debt by using following formula:

After tax cost of debt = YTM × ( 1 - marginal tax rate )

By putting the value, we get

After tax cost of debt = 0.14 × ( 1 - 0.40)

= 0.14 × 0.60

= 0.684

= 6.84%

Answer:

2%

2.5%

1.67%

Explanation:

The yield can be computed using the yield formula which coupon payment divided by price.

The coupon payment=face value*coupon rate

face value is $1000

coupon rate is 2%

coupon payment=2%*$1000=$20

when price is $1000:

yield =$20/$1000=2%

when price is $800

yield=$20/$800=2.5%

when price is $1,200

yield =$20/$1,200=1.67%

In essence ,the lower the price the higher the yield as lower amount is invested in order to receive the same amount of annual coupon of $20
