Solution
Answer a.
Face Value = $1,000
Current Price = $900
Annual Coupon = $86
Time to Maturity = 20 years
Let annual interest rate be i%
$900 = $86 * PVIFA(i%, 20) + $1,000 * PVIF(i%, 20)
Using financial calculator:
N = 20
PV = -900
PMT = 86
FV = 1000
I = 9.76%
So, yield on new issue of bonds is 9.76%
Answer b.
Before-tax Cost of Debt = 9.76%
After-tax Cost of Debt = 9.76% * (1 - 0.35)
After-tax Cost of Debt = 6.34%
