Answer: 8.45%

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Holmes Company's currently has an outstanding bonds and has a 8% coupon and a 13% yield to maturity.

We are further told that Holmes believes it could issue new bonds at par that would provide a similar yield to maturity and that its marginal tax rate is 35%.

Holmes's after-tax cost of debt will therefore be calculated as:

= Yield to maturity × (1 - Marginal tax rate)

= 13% × (1 - 35%)

= 13% × (65%)

= 0.13 × 0.65

= 0.0845

= 8.45%

NARA [144]
Team bonding through the subjugation of junior members is not valid. Junior members should be encouraged by the senior members to strive for the team, not belittled or humiliated in the process. Different people assume comradery in different ways, some through degradation or laughter, and others through positivity and cohesiveness, but subjugation and humiliation should never be a factor when building teams, especially in today’s society since we live in such a diverse culture in this country. If an organization relied on humiliating banter in order to form a collective unit, then it shows that the organization is less cohesive and reflects poor management and leadership skills within the organization.
