Cost of Debt
Cost of debt is that discounting rate at which present value of all future net cash
flows is equal to net cash inflow at the time of raising the debt.
There are three different situations regarding computation of cost of debt. (1)
Irredeemable debts, (2) Debts redeemable after certain period in lump sum, (3)
Debts redeemable in installments.
1)Irredeemable debt:
Annual interest (1 - Tax rate)
Cost of debt =————————————------× 100
Net proceeds of debt
2)Debt redeemable after certain period:
(RV – NP)
Annual Int. (I – T) + —————
N
Kd =————————————————————— × 100
NP + RV
———
2
3)Debts redeemable in installments
the way of solving 3rd one interpolation method.
Kd = Cost of debt, T = Tax rate
RV = Redeemable value of debt
NP = Net proceeds of debt issue
i got the first one .Its.Sum of GP series to infinity.
Second fomula i dint get it.
lastly i want to knw why can there be a derived formula for last case i e Debts redeemable in installments
