At the present time, Andalusian Limited (AL) has 5-year noncallable bonds with a face value of $1,000 that are outstanding. These bonds have a current market price of $1,438.04 per bond, carry a coupon rate of 14%, and distribute annual coupon payments. The company incurs a federal-plus-state tax rate of 35%. If AL wants to issue new debt, what would be a reasonable estimate for its after-tax cost of debt (rounded to two decimal places)? (Note: Round your YTM rate to two decimal place.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.69%

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Face value (FV) = $1,000

Time period = 5 years

Present Value (PV) = $1,438.04

Coupon rate = 14%

Payment (pmt) = 14% × $1,000 = $140

So, by using excel function find YTM, we get

YTM = 4.13%

So, After Tax cost = Rate ( 1 - tax rate)

= 4.13% ( 1 - 35%)

= 4.13% × 65%

= 2.685% or 2.69%

Excel function is attached below.
