A 100,000 loan can be obtained at a 10 percent rate with monthly
payments over a 15 year term.
a. What is the after tax effective interest rate on the loan,
assuming the borrower is in a 30 percent tax bracket and the loan
is only held three years? Assume that the benefit of interest
deductions for tax purposes occurs at the same time payments are
made.
b. Calculate the after tax effective cost for the above loan,
assuming that 5 points are charged and that the points are tax
deductible at the time they are paid.
c. How does the after tax cost in part (b) compare with the pretax
effective cost of the loan?
After tax effective interest rate has a vital role in analyzing the cost of mortgages. As the interest paid on mortgages is tax deductible, the deductibles of interest payments reduce the after tax cost of debt. The interest payments made in year is deductible for the same year. The after tax cost is product of pre tax cost and complement of borrowers tax rate.
a. The following table shows the calculation of detailed interest payment structure before and after tax implication:

The general formula to evaluate the after tax effective interest rate on loan is:
After-tax cost=(Pre - tax cost)(1-taxrate)
After-tax cost=(0.10)(1-0.30)
=0.1*0.7
=0.07%
b. By assuming the charge of 5% points which were deductible when they are paid the after tax effective cost would be:

here in this case with the application of IRR rule for the values in after tax payment column the essective cost after tax is found to be 8.56%.
c. The before tax eefective cost due to increase on 5% points is not 12.09% and this also resulted in increased after tax effective cost with affect to 5% points. The approximate after tax effective cost would be around,
After tax effective cost=0.1209*(1-0.30)
= 0.1209*0.70
=0.0846
but however with the increase in 5% points after tax effective cost is 0.0846 , thus the percentage of 5points increase resulted in an increase of before and after effective costs.
