    The after-tax cost of debt of LL Incorporated rounded to decimal places is 9.80%

    Explanation:

    First and foremost, the before tax cost of debt is the yield to maturity of 14%

    Having determined the before-tax cost of debt, the after-tax cost of debt is the before-tax cost of debt adjusted for marginal tax rate of 30% as computed thus:

    after-tax cost of debt=before-tax cost of debt * (1-t)

    the t is the tax rate of 30% which is also 0.3

    after tax cost of debt=14% * (1-0.3)

    =14%*0.7=9.80%
