And 3) from where they got additional interest of 037% ( except coupon 3.57) and why they need that interest and the amount of 120 in the same calculation( is it non current liability?) Thank you

I am sorry, but you are going to have to tell me which exam this question is from. (I have all past exams, but I cannot remember the name of every question in every exam :-) )

1. The credit rating is to be BBB. Therefore the spot yield rate in 1 years time is 1.5% plus 70 basis points, and is therefore 1.5 + 0.7 = 2.2%. Similarly, in 2 years time it will be 1.7 + 0.81 = 2.51%, and so on. 2. The question says that the coupon rate is currently 5.2% but will increase by 37 basis points. 5.2 + 0.37 = 5.57%.
