Cost of debt %
1. Total Book Value of Debt = Book Value of First Debt Issue + Book Value of Second Debt Issue
Total Book Value of Debt = $50000000 + 40000000
Total Book Value of Debt = $90000000
2. Total Market Value of Debt = Market Value of First Debt Issue + Market Value of Second Debt Issue
Total Market Value of Debt = Face Value * Market rate + face Value * Market rate
Total Market Value of Debt = $50 M * 93% + $40 M * 52%
Total Market Value of Debt = $67300000

After Tax Cost of Debt = 5.93%
