    5.372%

    Explanation:

    Given that

    Coupon rate = 6 percent

    Yield to maturity = 6.8%

    Tax rate = 21 percent

    So by considering the above information, the after tax cost of debt is

    = Yield to maturity * (1 - tax rate)

    = 6.8% * (1 - 0.21)

    = 5.372%

    We simple multiply the yield to maturity with the after tax rate so that the approximate cost of debt could come

    Ignored the coupon rate as it is not relevant for the above computation
