Answer:

a. 3.58%

Explanation:

First, find the pretax cost of debt ; the YTM.

You can solve this using a financial calculator. Input the following;

Maturity of the bond; N = 15

Face value; FV = 1,000

Price of the bond; PV = -1,075

Recurring annual coupon payments; PMT = (6%) *1000 = 60

Compute Semiannual interest rate;  CPT I/Y = 5.264%

Therefore, the pretax cost of debt = 5.264%

Aftertax cost of debt = Pretax cost of debt (1-tax)

= 5.264%(1-0.32)

= 3.58%
