Cost of Debt. Micro Spinoffs Inc. issued 20-year debt a year ago at par value with a coupon rate of 8%, paid annually. Today, the debt is selling at $1,050. If the firm's tax bracket is 21%, what is its percentage cost of debt

Respuesta :

Answer:

5.925%

Explanation:

For computing the cost of debt, first we have to determine the YTM by using the Rate formula that is shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Present value = $1,050

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

PMT = 1,000 × 8%  = $80

NPER = 20 year - 1 year = 19 year

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  

1. The pretax cost of debt is 7.50%

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

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

= 7.50% × ( 1 - 0.21)

= 5.925%
