    Hi John,

    8% Bonds have a book value of $120m
    The 8% Bonds will be redeemed in 6 years’ time. The before tax cost of debt is 7%.
    The co. pays the annual rate of tax @30% p.a.
    when calculating the PV of the future interest, the examiner has not taken into account the tax rate. (8*4.767=$38.14).
    Shouldn’t it be 8*0.70*4.767=$26.70?

    It is the investors who determine the market value, and for them the company tax is not relevant.

    Tax is only relevant when calculating the cost of debt to the company.

    I do suggest that you watch our free lectures on this.
