Flotation cost = issue cost/amount issued = 2.25/250=0.009

Cost of debt
                                         K = Nx4
Bond Price *(1-flotation %) =? [(Quarterly Coupon)/(1 + YTM/4)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/4)^Nx4
                                          k=1
                                         K =12x4
1000*(1-0.009) =? [(8.5*1000/400)/(1 + YTM/400)^k]     +   1000/(1 + YTM/400)^12x4
                                          k=1
YTM = 8.6211056316
After tax cost of debt = cost of debt*(1-tax rate)
After tax cost of debt = 8.6211056316*(1-0.28)
= 6.21
