The interest rate of debt (bonds, loans) after deducting the income tax savings. For example, if
a corporation has issued bonds with an interest rate of 8% and the corporation’s income tax rate
is 25%, the after-tax cost of the bonds’ interest is 6% (8% minus the tax savings equal to 25% of
8%).

"I am so impressed by AccountingCoach. I happened to stumble upon it when I was checking for an explanation on impairment and while I was busy Googling I saw AccountingCoach. Ever since then my life has become uncomplicated and all these accounting books throw out the window. It truly is the best! I could not believe it? I run my own accounting, bookkeeping practice and I am still today amazed about the way they have simplified things! I love it! Job well done to the team at AccountingCoach! I am your biggest fan! Thanks so much." - Eleanor M.
