Answer:

10.68%

Explanation:

Face value = 1,000

Coupon rate = 10%

Years to maturity = 15

Nper = 15*2 = 30

PMT = 1000*10%/2 = 50

Price(Present value) = Bond sale price - Issue cost

Price(Present value) = 970 - 20

Price(Present value) = 950

Yield to maturity = Rate(Nper, pmt, -pv, fv) * 2

Yield to maturity = Rate(30, 50, -950, 1000) * 2

Yield to maturity = 0.0534 * 2

Yield to maturity = 0.1068

Yield to maturity = 10.68%

Thus, the before-tax cost of debt is 10.68%
