Dear John,
Can you please explain me why was used the before-tax cost of debt of 10% instead of the after-tax cost of debt of 7% when calculating the market value of the loan note?
Thank you,
It is investors who determine the market value of debt, and investors receive the full 10% (we always ignore personal tax in F9).
The company has to pay 10% to the investors but gets tax relief on the interest which is why the cost to the company is only 7%.
(I really do suggest that you watch the free lectures on the Valuation of Securities where this is made very clear.)
