Answer:
After tax cost of debt is 7.69%
Explanation:
The after tax cost of debt can be computed by first of all determining the pre-tax cost of debt .
The pre-tax of debt is the yield to maturity computed using the rate formula in excel as follows:
=rate(nper,pmt.-pv,fv)
nper is the number of times the bond would pay coupon interest over the entire bond life ,which is 15 years multiplied by 2=30
pmt is the semi-annual interest which is $1000*8.9%/2=$44.5
pv is the current price of the bond at $962
fv is the face value of the bond at $1000
=rate(30,44.5,-962,1000)=4.69%
this is the semi-annul yield ,annual yield is 9.38%
The 9.38% is the pretax
after tax cost of debt=9.38%*(1-0.18)=7.69%
0.18 is the 18% tax rate
A = $9.99, the amount needed after 1 year
r = 0.018% = 0.00018, interest rate
n = 12, compoundings per year
t = 1, one year duration
Let P = required balance at the beginning of the year.
Then
P(1 + 0.00018/12)¹² = 9.99
1.00018P = 9.99
P = $9.988 ≈ $9.99
Answer: $9.99
