Answer:

The firm's after cost of debt is 7.48%

Explanation:

Floatation cost increases the cost because a diminished portion of the whole amount was received.

Given that;

r = 9%

t = 21%

f = 5%

After tax cost of debt = r ( 1 - t ) / ( 1 - f )

0.09 ( 1 - 0.21 ) / 1 - 0.05 )

= 0.0711 / 0.95

=0.0748421053

= 7.48%
