    It can be measured in before or after tax.

    Before tax:
    Cost of Debt = (I + (M-NP)/n) / (M + NP) / 2

    I = Dollar Return
    M = Maturity Value
    NP = Net Proceeds of issue
    N = years
    After Tax:
    Cost of Debt = ( I (1-t) +(RV-SV) /n) / (RV+SV) /2

    RV = Realisable value (ie they used $104 as this is the current price, not the maturity value)
    SV = same as NP above
