It helps giving you the ability to choose what you think is best for your business
Explanation:
Vic, using the money tree metaphor is awesome in order to explain. Think about your free enterprise (let’s say… a store that sells trees!).
What you need in order to start and run a business? A place to sell those trees, employees, products, infrastructure, etc., and capital to fund all that. All that business plans and models that you will develop in order to have a successful business will require that you make economic decisions, actions. And, in order to make those decisions, you need economic liberty, which is exactly the ability one has to make economic decisions without political, economic or social blocks.
Imagine that in your region you can only sell trees with red leaves, or your trees are taxed much more than trees coming from overseas, or that employment law requires that no employee gets near a plant (who knows, it could be to prevent allergic season!). That would make super hard to develop your business right?
That’s how economic liberty could help you grow your money tree; into giving you the ability to choose what you think is best for your business.

a) Pre-tax cost of debt is 8.45%
b) After tax cost of debt is 5.07%
Explanation:
a) Given:
Debt issue outstanding = $15.5 million
Semi-annual coupon rate = 0.063 / 2 = 0.0315
Assumed par value (FV) = $1,000
Coupon payment (pmt) = 0.0315 × 1000 = $31.5
Current bond price (PV) = 92% of $1,000 = $920
Time period (nper) = 5 × 2 = 10 periods
Calculate semi-annual rate using spreadsheet function =Rate(nper,pmt,PV,FV)
Semi-annual rate = 4.14%
Pmt and FV are negative as they are cash outflows.
YTM = 4.14 × 2 = 8.28%
Effective annual rate = 
= 
= 0.0845 or 8.45%
b) Tax rate is 40%
After tax cost of debt = Pre tax cost of debt × (1 - 0.4)
= 0.0845 × 0.6
= 0.0507 or 5.07%
