Waller, Inc., is trying to determine its cost of debt. The firm has a debt issue outstanding with 15 years to maturity that is quoted at 107 percent of face value. The issue makes semiannual payments and has an embedded cost of 7 percent annually (note: this means that the coupon rate is 7% APR). What is the pretax cost of debt as an APR? If the tax rate is 35%, what is the aftertax cost of debt?”
