Is the cost of debt stated under the Statement of Cash Flows after taxed figure?

okay all good now... found the reason why. http://www.schweser.com/news/news_updates.php?new_level=cfa2&type=schweser#practice_exams_vol_1 Practise Exams, Vol. 1, Page 17: The cost of debt of 4.50% given in the last exhibit should be listed as after-tax. Posted: 2013-03-18 :-w

I don't think so @vincentt. In cash flow statement, the outgoing interest (cost of debt) you pay is the full cash amount, which reduces the taxable profit, and reflected as less taxes in Income Statement.

  hmmm… that’s bad… i convert it to a after tax figure to get WACC (to calculate the value to firm) but the solution just add the actual figure.
