Southern Foods has a $13 million bond issue outstanding with a coupon rate of 7.15 percent and a yield to maturity of 7.39 percent. What is the present value of the tax shield if the tax rate is 34 percent?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$4,420,000

Explanation:

Data provided as per the question

Bond issue value = $13,000,000

Tax rate = 34%

The computation of present value of the tax shield is shown below:-

Present value of tax shield = Tax rate in percentage × Bond issue value

= 34% × $13,000,000

= $4,420,000

Therefore for computing the present value of the tax shield we simply multiply tax rate in percentage with bond issue value.
