Answer:
After tax cost of debt is 6.82%
Explanation:
Currently the yield to maturity is the pre-tax cost of debt for Hype company, however the after tax cost of debt considers that the bonds are tax deductible , its actual is less than the pre-tax cost of debt , hence the after-tax cost of debt is shown below
After tax cost of debt=yield to maturity *(1-tax)
after tax cost of debt=11%*(1-0.38)
after tax cost of debt=11%*0.62
after tax cost of debt =6.82%
This confirms that cost of debt is usually lower than cost of equity , where shareholders would want an extra premium to compensate them for the increased risk taken by investing in the business.
Answer: True
Explanation:
As a result of the Accrual principle in accounting, transactions need to be recorded in the period that they occur in and not in the period they are paid for in.
The interest in Year 1 was incurred in year 1 and so will need to be recorded in year 1 for the period from issuance of the note to the last day of the accounting period.
This means that if the last day of the accounting period is December 31st, the interest for year 1 would have to be accrued from September to December of year 1 and recorded as year 1 interest.
