Investors are willing to pay $954 for the bond and Temple faces a tax rate of 29 percent. What is Temple's after-tax cost of debt on the bond? The after-tax cost of debt is 96. (Round to two decimal places.) Enter your answer in the answer box.

Explanation / Answer

PV = -954

Coupon = 8.6%*1000 = 86

n = 15

FV = 1000

Before tax cost of debt = RATE(15,86,-954,1000) = 9.18%

After tax cost of debt = (1-29%) * 9.18% = 6.52%
