Suncor is planning to issue debt that will mature in the year 2037. In many respects the issue is similar to currently outstanding debt of the corporation. Use Table 11-2.

a. Calculate the yield to maturity on similarly outstanding debt for the firm, in terms of maturity. (Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Yield to maturity %

Assume that because the new debt will be issued at par, the required yield to maturity will be 0.15 percent higher than the value determined in part a. Add this factor to the answer in a. (New issues at par sometimes require a slightly higher yield than old issues that are trading below par. There is less leverage and fewer tax advantages.)

b. What is the new yield to maturity? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

c. If the firm is in a 25 percent tax bracket, what is the aftertax cost of debt for the yield determined in part b? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
