问题如下:
Dot.Com has determined that it could issue $1,000 face value bonds with an 8 percent coupon paid semi-annually and a five-year maturity at $900 per bond. If Dot.Com’s marginal tax rate is 38 percent, its after-tax cost of debt is closest to:
选项:
A. 6.2 percent.
B. 6.4 percent.
C. 6.6 percent.
解释:
C is correct.
FV = $1,000; PMT = $40; N = 10; PV = -$900
Solve for i. The six-month yield, i, is 5.3149%
YTM = 5.3149% × 2 = 10.62985%
rd(1 − t) = 10.62985%(1 − 0.38) = 6.5905%
为什么不是YTM=(1+I/Y)^2-1呢?
