    Sir there was a past exam question that

    Phobis co has in issue 9% bonds which are redeemable at their par value of $100 in 5 years’ time . Alternatively each bond may be converted on that date into 20 ordinary shares of the company. The current ordinary share price of Phobis co is $4.45 and this is expected to grow at a rate of 6.5% per year for the foreseeable future. Phobis co has a cost of debt of 7% per year

    Sir here cost of debt of 7% will assumed to be before tax cost of debt na or is it after tax?

    We would use the pre-tax cost of debt.

    If you read the question carefully then you will see that there is no mention of tax. Therefore there is no tax and the pre and post tax cost of debt are the same.

    You can’t simply invent a tax rate if there is no tax mentioned!
