Part (a)
Total value of bond's principal $ 1588000
No. of bonds 1588
Par value per bond (total principal/no. of bonds) 1000
Coupon interest rate 6% p.a.
So, Interest received each per per bond is 1000*6% = $ 60
Part (b)
Interest cost per bond $ 60
Multiplied with no. of shares 1588
Interest cost each year $ 95280
So, Charter's total interest expense per year associated with bond issue is $95,280.
Part ©
After tax interest cost = Interest * (1 - tax rate)
tax rate = 35%
So, After tax interest cost = 95280 * (1 - 0.35)
61932
So, After tax interest cost associated with bond issue is $61,932.
