    N= 12*2= 24
    pv= -(94/100)* 1000= -940
    pmt=7*10=70 70/2 = 35 (semi annual)
    fv=1000
    I/y = 3.889%
    ytm=3.889%*2 = 7.78% (pretax cost of debt)

    after tax cost of debt = 0.0778*(1-0.35) = 0.0506/5.06%

    =interest rate x tax rate
    = 6% x (1-0.37)
    = 6% x 0.63
    = 3.78
