Explanation:

total interest expense = 2,000 bonds x $1,000 per bond x 9% = $180,000

the interest shield is the amount of taxes saved by paying interest expense

interest shield = total interest expense x tax rate = $180,000 x 34% = $61,200

this means that the company will be able to reduce its income taxes by $61,200 because it paid interests on their bonds
