    A) 5.22 percent

    Explanation:

    The Pretax cost of debt is the Yield to maturity (YTM) of bond.

    Using a financial calculator, you can solve for the YTM with the following inputs;

    Face value; FV = 1000

    Maturity of bond; N = 15

    Annual coupon payment; PMT = coupon rate * Face value = 6%*1000 = 60

    Current price; PV = $1,080

    then compute annual interest rate; CPT I/Y = 5.22%
