    The answer is 6.72%

    Explanation:

    Calculating the imputed rate from a discount bond as follows:

    (1 + i) ^n = FV / PV

    (1 + i) ^3 = FV / PV, here FV = 1000 and PV = 727.25

    so putting values in equation we have:

    (1 + i) ^3 = 1000 / 727.25

    (1 + i) ^3 = 1.375

    solving for i

    (1 + i) = 1.375^1/3

    (1 + i) = 1.112

    i = 0.112 before tax rate

    0.112 * (1 - tax rate) = after tax interest rate

    0.112 *.60 = 0.0672 = 6.72%

    thus the expected after tax cost of this debt issue is 6.72%
