KJ Pharma issues new bonds to fund an acquisition. The face value of the bond is $100 and annual coupon is 6.5%. Further, this bond matures in 20 years and is issued at a price of $105. Assuming KJ Pharma's tax rate is 30%, what is its After-Tax Cost of Debt

Respuesta :

Answer:

4.24%

Explanation:

The computation of the after tax cost of debt is given below:

But before that we have to determine the before tax of debt by using RATE formula

Given that

Future value be $100

Present value be $105

PMT is $100 × 6.5%  = $6.5

NPER is 20

The formula is

=RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the before tax cost of debt is 6.06%

Now the after tax cost of debt is

= 6.06% × (1 - 0.30)

= 4.24%
