Fubuki - 2010- Discount tax shield impact

NNgoQuynh6y ago
Hi John, Thank you for your support all the time. Regarding Fubuki question, should the tax benefit from debt be discount at average cost of debt? Which is: 5.5%x 80% + 7.5% x 20% = 5.9% Thank you!

No. You either discount at the normal borrowing rate (which here is 7.5%) or at the risk free rates (which here is 4.5%). The examiner always accepts either (even though obviously the final answer is different).
