Cost of Debt = [Interest * (1-tax rate)+{(Redemption Value-Net Proceeds)/No.of years}]
Redemption Value+Net Proceeds/2
80*(1-0.34)+{(1000-940.875)/10)}
(1000+940.875)/2
=80*0.66+{(59.125)/10}
970.438
=(52.8+5.9125)/970.438
=6.05% or 6% approx
*Net Proceeds = Issue Price - Floatation Cost
=965-(965*2.5%)
=965-24.125
=940.875
