Solution

The cost of debt can be calculated using the formula:

Cost of Debt = (Interest Expense / Net Proceeds) * 100%

Here, the interest expense is 8% of Rs. 10,000, which is Rs. 800.

The net proceeds are the amount the company receives from issuing the debentures. Since the debentures are issued at a premium of 10%, the company receives Rs. 10,000 + 10% of Rs. 10,000 = Rs. 11,000.

So, the cost of debt = (800 / 11,000) * 100% = 7.27%

Therefore, the cost of debt is 7.27%.
