    aftertax cost of debt = 5.63%

    Explanation:

    fisrt we need to know the formula for the yield to maturity

    Yield to maturity (YTM)

    YTM = (I + (F-P) / n) / (0.6P + 0.4F)

    YTM = (9 + (100-102.3) / 11) / (0.6*102.3 + 0.4*100)

    YTM = 0.0867

    YTM = 8.67%

    after taxes we have ...

    8.67% (1-0.35%)

    =0.0563

    =5.63%
