Explanation / Answer

Book Value of Debt=45Million+45 Million=90 Million Market Value of Debt=45 Million*93%+45 Million*53%=65.7 Million Pretax cost of Debt of Zero Coupon Bond 530= $1,000(PVIF, R%,26) By Solving this R=2.47% YTM=2.47*2=4.94% 4.94% Post Tax cost of Debt of Zero Coupon Bond=4.94%*(1-.35) 3.21% Pretax cost of Debt of 8% semi Annual Bond Half Yearly Interest 1000*8%/2 40 $40 get after every six month on Maturity , he will get $1,000 PV of both the inflows are 930 So now the equation is 930= $40(PVIF, R%,44)+ $1000(PVIF, R%,44) By Solving this R=4.36% YTM=4.36*2=8.72% 8.72% Post Tax cost of Debt of 8% semi annual bondBond=8.72%*(1-.35) 5.67% The aftertax cost of debt for the company is the weighted average of the aftertax cost of debt for all outstanding bond issues. We need to use the market value weights of the bonds. The total aftertax cost of debt for the company is: 5.67%*41.85 Million/65.7 Million+3.21%*23.85 Million/65.7 million 4.78%
