Answer:

6.64%

Explanation:

The pretax cost of debt is the Yield to Maturity (YTM). Since the coupons are paid semiannually, adjust the duration and the coupon payment amount to semi-annual terms.

You can solve for the YTM using a financial calculator with the following inputs;

Maturity of the bond; N = 20*2 = 40

Face value ; FV = 1000

Semi-annual coupon payment ; PMT = (7%/2)*1000 = 35

Current price of the bond; PV = -1.04*1000 = -1040

Then compute the semiannual interest rate ; CPT I/Y =  3.318%

Therefore, pretax cost of debt; YTM = 3.318 *2 = 6.64%

3. carrying value = $466,726.94

Explanation:

face value = $450,000

maturity = 2 years x 4 = 8 periods

coupon rate = 16% / 4 = 4%

coupon = $18,000

YTM = 12% / 4 = 3%

using a financial calculator, the PV of the bonds = $481,588.61

amortization first coupon = ($481,588.61 x 3%) - $18,000 = $3,552.34
