Finance

The required return (or cost) of previously issued debt is often referred to as the
rate. It usually differs from the cost of newly
raised financial capital.
Peaceful Book Binding Company is considering issuing a new twenty-five-year debt issue that would pay an annual coupon payment of
$90. Each bond in the issue would carry a $1,000 par value and would be expected to be sold for a market price equal to its par value.
PBBC's CFO has pointed out that the firm will incur a flotation cost of 2% when initially issuing the bond issue. Remember, these flotation costs will be
subtracted grad from the proceeds the firm will receive after issuing its new bonds. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 35%.
To see the effect of flotation costs on PBBC's after-tax cost of debt, calculate the before-tax and after-tax costs of the firm's debt issue with and
without its flotation costs, and insert the correct costs into the boxes. (Hint: Round your answer to two decimal places.)
