    Pre-tax cost of debt is calculated as -

    Yield to maturity = [ Coupon payment + (Face value - Price) / Number of periods ] / [ (Face value - Price) / 2 ]

    Coupon payment = 9.6 % / 2 * 1000 = $ 48

    Face Value = 1000

    Price = 113.5 % * $ 1000 = $ 1135

    Number of periods = 20 (i. e. 10 years * 2)

    Yield to maturity = [ $ 48 + ($ 1000 - $ 1135) / 20] / [ ($ 1000 + $ 1135) / 2 ]

    Yield to maturity = 3.86 %

    Annual yield to maturity = 3.86 % * 2 = 7.72 %
