Answer:

d. 9.31 %

Explanation:

in order to solve this question you cannot use the approximate yield to maturity since it will yield an approximation, but not an exact answer:

approximate YTM = {70 + [(1,000 - 788)/4]} / [(1,000 - 788)/2] = 13.76%

after tax cost of debt = 13.76% x 0.65 = 8.94%, but that is not an option

we must determine the exact yield to maturity which is determined by the following formula:

$788 = $70/(1 + i) + $70/(1 + i)² + $70/(1 + i)³ + $1,070/(1 + i)⁴

the simplest way to solve this is by using a financial calculator since the math is complicated. The exact yield to maturity = 14.324%

after tax cost of debt = 14.324% x (1 - tax rate) = 14.324% x 0.65 = 9.31%

Advocard [28]
<span>The speaker is using the fallacy of building on an unproven assumption. The speaker has made the assumption that the Japanese make the best stereo sound systems in the world. This is merely his/her opinion, and is not a proven fact. Thus, when the speaker bases another argument on that assumption, he has used a fallacy in reasoning.</span>
