Micro Advantage issued a $5,250,000 par value, 15-year bond a year ago at 94 (i. e., 94% of par value) with a stated rate of 10%. Today, the bond is selling at 115 (i. e., 115% of par value). If the firm's tax bracket is 30%, what is the current after-tax cost of this debt?

    7.45%

    Explanation:

    Total amount the firm received from bond issuance = $5,250,000 * 94%

    = $4,935,000

    The total coupon must be paid to bond holder annually

    = Par value of $5,250,000 * coupon rate of 10%

    = $5,250,000 * 10%

    = $525,000

    Rate of coupon paid over loan received = $525,000 / $4,935,000 = 10.64%

    After-tax cost of this debt = 10.64% * (1-30%) = 7.45%
