Information provided:

Par value= future value= $2,000

Current price= present value= $1,856

Time= 22 years*2= 44 semi-annual periods

Coupon rate= 6.6%/2= 3.3%

Coupon payment= 0.033*2,000= $66

Tax rate= 39%

The question is solved by first calculating the before tax cost of debt.

The yield to maturity is computed to derive the before tax cost of debt.

Enter the below in a financial calculator to compute the yield to maturity:

FV= 2,000

PV= -1,856

N= 44

PMT= 66

Press the CPT key and I/Y to compute the yield to maturity.

The value obtained is 3.6301.

Therefore, the before tax cost of debt is 3.6301*2=7.2602%

After tax cost of debt= before tax cost of debt*(1- tax rate)

                                        = 7.2602% *(1- 0.39)

                                        = 4.4287%   4.43%.

In case of any query, kindly comment on the solution.
