[55 points] (public health) in 1972 a one-in-six random survey of the electoral roll | largely concerned with studying heart disease and smoking | was carried out in whickham, a mixed urban and rural district near newcastle upon tyne in england. twenty years later a follow-up study was conducted, with the results published in the journal clinical endocrinology in 1995. the dataset summarized below in this problem pertains to the subsample of 1,314 women in the study who were classi ed in the original survey either as current smokers or as never having smoked. there were relatively few women (162) who had smoked but stopped, and only 18 whose smoking habits were not recorded; these women are not included in the data here. the 20-year survival status was determined for all the women in the original survey. the outcome variable y of interest here was mortality, recorded as dead or alive in 1992; the re- searchers regarded x, smoking behavior in 1972 (current smoker or never smoked), as the supposedly causal factor (scf), and they also measured the variable z, age (18{64 or 65+) in 1972. several de nitions and conclusions from the eld of experimental design are relevant here:

Afirm's before-tax cost of debt, rd, is the interest rate that the firm must pay on debt. because interest is tax deductible, the relevant cost of debt used to calculate a firm's wacc is the cost of debt, rd (1 – t). the cost of debt is used in calculating the wacc because we are interested in maximizing the value of the firm's stock, and the stock price depends on cash flows. it is important to emphasize that the cost of debt is the interest rate on debt, not debt because our primary concern with the cost of capital is its use in capital budgeting decisions. the rate at which the firm has borrowed in the past is because we need to know the cost of capital. for these reasons, the on outstanding debt (which reflects current market conditions) is a better measure of the cost of debt than the . the on the company's -term debt is generally used to calculate the cost of debt because more often than not, the capital is being raised to fund -term projects. quantitative problem: 5 years ago, barton industries issued 25-year noncallable, semiannual bonds with a $1,600 face value and a 8% coupon, semiannual payment ($64 payment every 6 months). the bonds currently sell for $845.87. if the firm's marginal tax rate is 40%, what is the firm's after-tax cost of debt? round your answer to 2 decimal places. do not round intermediate calcu
