Explanation:

First we need to ckeck the vaelus given on the problem.

$340,000 bond issue outstanding

rate of 6.25%

sell at 101.2% of face value

tax rate is 35 percent

pay interest semiannually

so the amount of the annual interest tax shield will be given by:

Coupon amount paid in a year = $340000 x 6.25 / 100 = $21250
