Specimen exam 2016 Q 27

Dear Tutor, could you please help me why do we have to use the before - tax average cost of capital and not after - tax to calculate the equivalent annual cost ?

It is because the question says to ignore tax (and the answer states this as well in the first line) :-) Usually we would use the after-tax cost of capital, but here the question tells you to ignore it.

Thank you very much for your quick reply.
