As the bond is trading at par, YTM and coupon rate will be same.
Using the formula for calculating YTM,
YTM =(Coupon + (Face value - Price)/n)/ (Face value +Price )/2
Coupon = 12% of 1000 = 120. The semi-annual coupon is 60
Face value = Price = 1000.
n = 20*2 = 40 periods.
YTM = (60+ (1000-1000)/40))/(1000+1000)/2 = 60/1000 = 0.06 or 6%
The annual YTM is 6 % * 2 = 12%.
After tax cost of debt = 12*(1-tax rate) =12*(1-0.40)= 12*0.60 = 7.2%
