    I have a few questions

    1. Why was the Kd used in the M&M formula pre-tax?
    2. Can you explain what the examiner did after arriving at 12.78% to get the 9%? Where’s the 1.42 coming from?
    3.The examiner couldn’t apply (1-t) on the subsidy benefits because of the difference in discount factors yeah? i.e since there’s no delay for the subsidy payment but there is a delay on the interest saved payments, this would require two different discount factors, correct?

    1. Kd in the formula is the return to investors which is always pre tax (as I explain in my lectures on this).

    2. The examiner has simply rearranged the equation on the previous line.
    Ke + (1-0.3)Ke x (240.8/400) = 1.42

    3. What you have written is correct.

    2.

    I seem to have worked this out but forgot it again while revising, looked at my notes couldnt find it

    10.5 remains as it is

    2.28 i got by multiplying 240.8/400 with post tax KD of 3.78%

    I am getting 0.42 by multiplying 240.8/400.

    How do i make 0.42 to 1.42. Missing the magic additional 1
