We can calculate the after tax cost of debt as follows:
Let the Par Value of Bond = $ 1000
Current Value = Par Value * 108%
= 1000 * 1.08
= $ 1,080
Coupon Rate = 7%
Payment = Semiannually
Total period = 20 years
Bond was issued 4 years ago, So period left is
= 20 - 4
= 16 years
Further we can use this information to calculate the yield to maturity of the bond as follows:
Formulas used in the excel sheet are:
So, the after tax cost of debt comes out to be 4.78%.
