USA Manufacturing issued 30-year, 7.5 percent semiannual bonds 6 years ago. The bonds currently sell at 101 percent of face value. What is the firm's aftertax cost of debt if the tax rate is 35 percent? 3.59 percent 4.82 percent 3.76 percent 5.62 percent 4.40 percent

Respuesta :

Answer:

4.82 percent

Explanation:

We use the Rate formula in this question that is shown in the attachment

The NPER is the period of time.

Provided that,  

Present value = $1,000 × 101% = $1,010

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 7.5% ÷ 2 = $37.5

NPER = 30 years - 6 years = 24 year × 2 = 48 years

The formula is presented below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  

1. The pretax cost of debt is 7.41%

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 7.41% × ( 1 - 0.35)

= 4.82%
