At the present time, Water and Power Company (WPC) has 5-year noncallable bonds with a face value of $1,000 that are outstanding
. These bonds have a current market price of $1,050.76 per bond, carry a coupon rate of 10%, and distribute annual coupon payments. The company incurs a federal-plus-state tax rate of 25%. If WPC wants to issue new debt, what would be a reasonable estimate for its after-tax cost of debt (rounded to two decimal places)? (Note: Round your YTM rate to two decimal place.) 6.53% 7.51% 5.22% 7.84%
1 answer:
Answer:
6.53%
Explanation:
For computing the after cost of debt we need to use the RATE formula i.e to be shown in attached spreadsheet. Kindly find it below:
Given that,
Present value = $1,050.76
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 10% = $100
NPER = 5 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying this above formula
1. The pretax cost of debt is 8.70
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 8.70% × ( 1 - 0.25)
= 6.53%

Answer:
net capitalized cost is = $450000
so correct option is b. $450,000
Explanation:
given data
capitalized software costs = $600,000
expected total sales = 10%
sale = 4 year
net realizable value = $480,000
solution
we find out net capitalized cost of computer software that is
net capitalized cost of computer software is = Year 1 balance - Year 2 amortization ........................1
here we get first Year 2 amortization that is
Year 2 amortization is = capitalized software costs ÷ total projected sale ..............2
put here value
Year 2 amortization =
Year 2 amortization is = $150,000
so here we get net capitalized cost
net capitalized cost is = $600,000 - $150,000
net capitalized cost is = $450000
so correct option is b. $450,000
