Cost of Debt. Micro Spinoffs Inc. issued 20-year debt a year ago at par value with a coupon rate of 8%, paid annually. Today, th
e debt is selling at $1,050. If the firm's tax bracket is 21%, what is its percentage cost of debt
1 answer:
Answer:
5.925%
Explanation:
For computing the cost of debt, first we have to determine the YTM by using the Rate formula that is shown in the attachment
Given that,
Present value = $1,050
Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 8% = $80
NPER = 20 year - 1 year = 19 year
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 7.50%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 7.50% × ( 1 - 0.21)
= 5.925%

Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
When supply is perfectly inelastic, the supply curve is vertical as shown in the attached plot. Thus, the tax that shifts the supply curve upward would have no effect on the equilibrium quantity or price paid by consumers. Since equilibrium quantity or price paid by consumer don't change there's no burden on them. However, no team's owners would receive a lower after tax price and thus bearing the entire tax burden.
