Why is that so?Thanks August 14, 2018 at 6:44 pm #467859 John MoffatKeymasterTopics: 57Replies: 54570☆☆☆☆☆Strictly the examiner was wrong to call it the cost of debt where he does, because it is pre-tax.However in the calculation of the WACC, he multiplies by 0.7 to account for the tax, and therefore his answer is correct.
