DECISION-MAKING ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION
On January l, 2015, Picard Corporation issued $3,000,000, 5-year, 8% bonds at 97. The bonds pay interest annually on January l. By January 1, 2017, the market rate of interest for bonds of risk similar to those of Picard Corporation had risen. As a result, the market price of these bonds was $2,500,000 on January l, 2017—below their earning value of $2,946,000.
Geoff Marquis, president of the company, suggests repurchasing all of these bonds in the open market at the $2,500,000 price. But to do so the company will have to issue $2,500,000 (face value) of new 10-year, 12% bonds at par. The president asks you, as controller, "What is the feasibility of my proposed repurchase plan?"
