Expert Solution

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%.
