A. 5.86%
B. 6.99%
C. 3.52%
D. 10.00%
We can calculate the before tax cost of debt (I/Y) using a financial calculator
Following data should be used as inputs.
FV = $1,000, PMT = 10% * $1,000 = $100, N = 5, PV = $ -1175
Using 1175 as a negative amount because that's what an investor would pay for and thus indicates an outflow.
Using these inputs in the financial calculator, we get I/Y = 5.86%
Now the after tax cost of debt = I/Y * (1 - Tax) = 5.86% * (1-40%) = 5.86% * 0.6 = 3.52%
