Answer:

7.45%

Explanation:

Total amount the firm received from bond issuance = $5,250,000 * 94%

= $4,935,000

The total coupon must be paid to bond holder annually

= Par value of $5,250,000 * coupon rate of 10%

= $5,250,000 * 10%

= $525,000

Rate of coupon paid over loan received = $525,000/ $4,935,000 = 10.64%

After-tax cost of this debt = 10.64%*(1-30%) = 7.45%
