Information provided:
Face value= future value= $1,000
Present value= 110*$1,000= $1,100
Time= 7 years*2= 14 semi-annual periods
Coupon rate= 8.2%/2= 4.1%
Coupon payment= 0.041*1,000= $41
1.The pretax cost of debt is calculated by computing the yield to maturity.
Enter the below in a financial calculator to compute the yield to maturity:
FV= 1,000
PV= -1,100
PMT= 41
N= 14
Press the CPT key and I/Y to compute the yield to maturity.
The value obtained is 3.2025.
Therefore, the pretax cost of debt is 3.2025%*2= 6.4045% 6.40%.
2.After tax cost of debt= before tax cost of debt*(1 – tax rate)
= 6.40%*(1 – 0.30)
= 4.48%.
