In case Bonds are issued at par value ,Bonds market rate of interest is equals to coupon rate on bond = 8.40%

Bond After tax cost of debt (current) =Before tax cost of debt (1-Tax rate)

                                             = 8.40 (1- .36)

                                             = 8.40 * .64

                                             = 5.376%

Bond After tax cost of debt (revised) = 8.40 (1-.25)

                                    = 8.40 *.75

                                     = 6.3%

change in after tax cost of debt = 6.3 -5.376= .924 %   (enter as .0092)
