And the interest payment paid/payable by the company along with any discount offered on the issue or any premium to be paid on redemption of such debt is the cost of debt for the company.

The formula for calculating the cost of debt is as follows:
Where PV = Price at which such debt is issued
Interest = Interest amount payable
