Hi,
I have tried following way... I am not sure if it is correct... somebody please sugest-----
 
(a) 
             I(1âT) + {(FâP)/n}
Kd =---------------------------------
                      (F+P)/2
 
Where Kd is post tax cost of debenture capital,
I is the annual interest payment per unit of debenture,
T is the corporate tax rate,
F is the redemption price per debenture,
P is the net amount realized per debenture,
n is maturity period
 
 
13.5(1â0.52) + (2â1.8)/7                              13.5*.48+.2/7		       6.51	
-------------------------------------  =     --------------------------  =  ----------- = 3.43
(2+1.8)/2                                                            1.9		       1.9
 
(b)        13.5(1-.52)+(2-2.2)/4            13.5*.48-.2/4
	---------------------------=  -------------------	=6.43/.21 	=3.06
		(2+2.2)/2                      2.1
