I have a test tomorrow and I expect there will be a similar problem like this, I need to learn how to use the calculator asap…
Waller, Inc is trying to determine its cost of debt. The firm has a debt issue outstanding with 9 years to maturity that is quoted at 107% of face value. The issue makes semiannual payments and has an embedded cost of 9% annually.
a) what is the company’s pretax cost of debt? (answer is R=3.949% YTM=2×3.949= 7.9%)
b) If the tax rate is 32%, what is the aftertax cost of debt? (answer is Rd = .079(1-.32) = 5.37%)
(i dont think you would have to explain part b, but once you explain how to punch part a in the calculator b should be self explanitory)
thank you answer community!
