Answer:
After tax cost of debt is 5.239%
Explanation:
Given:
Face value = $1,000
Bond price = $895
Coupon payments = 0.035×1,000 = $35 (coupon payment is paid semi-annually so 7% is divided by 2)
Maturity = 20×2 = 40 periods
Using bond price formula:
Bond price = Present value of face value + present value of coupon payments
Use excel function =RATE(nper,pmt,PV,FV) to calculate cost of debt.
substituting the values:
=RATE(40,35,-895,1000)
we get Pre-Tax cost of debt = 4.03% semi- annual
Annual rate is 4.03%×2 = 8.06%
Note: PV is negative as bond price is cash outflow.
After tax cost of debt = 8.06(1 - 0.35)
= 5.239%
