Sincere Stationary Corporation needs to raise $500,000 to improve its manufacturing plant. It has decided to issue a $1,000 par value bond with an annual coupon rate 10.0 percent with interest paid semiannually and a 10-year maturity. Investors require a return of 9.0 percent. A. Compute the market value of the bonds B. How many bonds will the firm have to issue to receive the needed funds C. What is the firms after-tax cost of debt if the firms tax rate is 34 percent
Suppose your company needs to raise $28 million and you want to issue 20-year bonds for this purpose. Assume the required return on your bond issue will be 8 percent, and you're evaluating two issue alternatives: an 8 percent annual coupon and a zero coupon bond. Your company's tax rate is 25 percent. In 20 years, what will your company's repayment be if you issue the coupon bonds? What if you issue the zeros? (Assume annual compounding on the zero coupon bond.)
In the Miller-Modigliani world of no taxes, the Grainville Corporation (GC) has a zero-coupon bond issue with a face value of $2,000 that is coming due in one year. The value of GC's assets is currently $2,400. Chris Denison, the omnipotent CEO, believes that the assets in the firm will be worth $1,400 or $3,400 in a year. The risk-free rate is 2 percent per annum. What is the current value of the firm's equity? The current value of the debt? Brad Batman, the CFO, argues that GC can reconfigure its existing assets such that the value in a year will be $400 or $4,000. If the current value of the assets remains unchanged, would the stockholders favor such a move? Explain why or why not?
