The following information is available for three companies:
Rope Co. | Chain Co. | Line Co. | |||||||
Face value of bonds payable | $ | 270,000 | $ | 696,000 | $ | 668,000 | |||
Interest rate | 6 | % | 5 | % | 4 | % | |||
Income tax rate | 30 | % | 15 | % | 20 | % | |||
Required
a. Determine the annual before-tax interest cost
for each company in dollars.
b. Determine the annual after-tax interest cost
for each company in dollars. (Round your answers
to the nearest dollar amount.)
c. Determine the annual after-tax interest cost
for each company as a percentage of the face value of the
bonds. (Round your answers to 1 decimal
place.)
Rope Co. = 270,000 X 6% = 16,200
Chain co. = 696,000 * 5% = 34,800
Line Co. = 668,000 * 4% =26,720
Rope co. = 16,200 (1-0.3) = 11,340
Chain co. = 34,800 (1-0.15) = 29,580
Line Co. = 26,720 (1-0.2) = 21,376
Rope co. = 11340/270,000 = 4.2%
Chain co. = 29580/696,000 = 4.25%
Line Co. = 21376/668,000 =3.2%
