Ans. The after tax cost of this bond is 2.09%

Explanation:

Hi, first we need to establish the cash flow of the bond, so we can find the after tax cost of the bond. After we find the after tax cash flow of the bond, we must use the IRR function of MS Excel to find the semi-annual cost of this debt, but, all after tax debts should be presented in annual basis. Let me walk you through the process. First, let me show you how it should look.

Face Value 100

price 101,4

years 7years

Coupon 9%

Coupon 4,5%semi-annually

tax 30%

Per Cash FlowAfter Tax

0 101,4101,4

1 -4,5-3,15

2 -4,5-3,15

3 -4,5-3,15

4 -4,5-3,15

5 -4,5-3,15

6 -4,5-3,15

7 -4,5-3,15

8 -4,5-3,15

9 -4,5-3,15

10 -4,5-3,15

11 -4,5-3,15

12 -4,5-3,15

13 -4,5-3,15

14 -104,5-73,15

Cost of Debt1,04%semi-annually

Cost of Debt2,09%annually

Ok, now, as you can see, there are 14 periods, that is because the coupon is paid semi-annually, the way to find the cash flow (I mean, the bond´s coupon) is:

$Coupon (semi-annual)=(Face Value)x\frac{0.09}{2} =4.5$

At the end (period 14), we need to add the face value and the coupon, that is $100+$4.5=$104.5

Now, to find the value of the third column (after-tax cost), we do the following.

$After-tax-Cost=Couponx(1-taxes)=4.5(1-0.3)=3.15\\$

Now, consider this, you are receiving 101.4 for every 100 of debt, that means that you are receiving more money than the emission value, and paying interests over 100 instead of 101.4, that is why we have to use the IRR excel function to find out the semi-annual cost of debt. That is, 1.04%.

Now, to make this an effective annual rate, we calculate it like this.

$EffectiveAnnualRate=(1+semi-annual Rate)^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=(1+0.0104)^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=0.0209$

Finally, the after-tax cost of this debt is = 2.09%

Best of luck.

Management discovers that a supervisor at one of its restaurant locations removes excess cash and resets sales totals throughout the day on the point-of-sale (pos) system. at closing, the supervisor deposits cash equal to the recorded sales on the pos system and keeps the rest. the supervisor forwards the close-of-day pos reports from the pos system along with a copy of the bank deposit slip to the company’s revenue accounting department. the revenue accounting department records the sales and the cash for the location in the general ledger and verifies the deposit slip to the bank statement. any differences between sales and deposits are recorded in an over/short account and, if necessary, followed up with the location supervisor. the customer food order checks are serially numbered, and it is the supervisor’s responsibility to see that they are accounted for at the end of each day. customerchecks and the transaction journal tapes from the pos system are kept by the supervisor for 1 week at the location and then destroyed. what control allowed the fraud to occur?
