Suppose your company needs to raise $35.8 million and you want to issue 23- year bonds for this purpose. Assume the required return on your bond issue will be 8.3 percent, and you?re evaluating two issue alternatives: a 8.3 percent semiannual coupon bond and a zero coupon bond. Your company's tax rate is 35 percent. Requirement 1: (a) How many of the coupon bonds would you need to issue to raise the $35.8 million? (b) How many of the zeroes would you need to issue? Requirement 2: (a) In 23 years, what will your company's repayment be if you issue the coupon bonds? (b) What if you issue the zeroes?
