    The after-tax cost for the bonds is 3.69%

    Explanation:

    The single formula for after-tax cost of debt for the bond is calculated using the Excel's RATE function as follows:

    = rate (nper, pmt, pv, fv)

    = rate (15,5.75%*1000,-1015,1000) * (1 - 0.34)

    = 3.69%

    Therefore, The after-tax cost for the bonds is 3.69%
