V Inc's are trading at their par value of $1,000 and pay interest 4 times a year. If each interest payment is 19 what is V Inc component cost of debt?
Cost of capital of a bond (debt) is its yield to maturity.
Now, as the bond is trading at par (at face value of $1000), the
coupon rate=yield to maturity
As the bond is trading at par, current bond price=Face value of the
bond=$1000
Interest payment of 19 is paid 4 times a year, total annual coupon
payment=19*4=$76
Annual coupon interest rate=Annual coupon amount paid/Face
value=$76/$1000=0.076 or 7.60%
So, yield to maturity or the component cost of debt=7.6%
