Answer:
5.4%
Explanation:
Several years ago the Haverford Company sold a $1,000 par value bond that now has 25 years to maturity and an 8.00% annual coupon that is paid quarterly. The bond currently sells for $900.90, and the company’s tax rate is 40%. What is the component cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation
Face value of bond = coupon amount / interest rate
1000 = 80 / 8%
Therefore 900.9 = 80 / revised interest rate
multiply both sides by the 'revised interest rate
revised interest rate x 900.9 = 80
Hence, revised interest rate = 80 / 900.9 = 9%
Secondly if the company’s tax rate is 40%, the component cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation = kd (1 - t)
where:
kd = Cost of debt
t = tax rate
Therefore cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation = 9% (1-0.4) = 5.4%
The future amount of an investment with compound interest can be calculated through the equation,
F = P x (1 + ieff)^n
where F is the future amount, P is the current value of the money, ieff is the effective interest (rate per year), and n is the number of years.
From the equation, all are given except for the effective interest, i. Now, substituting the known values,
14,398.87 = (7,775) x (1 + ieff)^14
The value of ieff from the equation is 0.044999.
Since the value of the ieff when translated to percentage is equal to 4.5% as well, the interest rate is compounded yearly.

Answer: The GDP deflator
Explanation: The GDP(gross domestic product) deflator is a price index that is used to measure the prices of all the goods and services produced within an economy. The cars which are exported by General Motors are produced domestically within the United States of America and exported outside the country.
Any goods produced externally are not considered when determining the GDP deflator.
Taxation decreases the income earned by a firm by 28% it means this affects the business negatively and when taxation is paid it positively improve the economic growth
