Answer:
b. $25,500
Explanation:
$500,000 bond
Rt: 1%
Credit-risk rate: 5%
t: 15%
Cost of debt = 1% + 5%
Cost of debt = 0.01 + 0.05
Cost of debt = 0.06
After tax cost of debt = Cost of debt *(1 - t)
After tax cost of debt = 0.06*(1 - 0.15)
After tax cost of debt = 0.06*0.85
After tax cost of debt = 0.051
Cost of debt = After tax cost of debt * $500,000
Cost of debt = 0.051*(500,000)
Cost of debt = $25,500
So, the organization's cost of debt on the $500,000 bond is $25,500
