Respuesta :

Answer:

c. 6.86%

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of debt is shown below:

Here we applied the rate formula

Given that

NPER = 30

PMT = $1,000 × 10% = $100

Assuming future value be $1,000

PV = $950

The formula is shown below:

= RATE(NPER;PMT;PV;FV;TYPE)

The present value should be in negative

After applying the above formula, the rate is 10.55%

Now the after tax cost of debt is

= 10.55% × (1 - 0.35)

= 6.86%

Hence, the correct option is c.
