BBA Ltd has just issued $10 million in debt (at par or face value). The firm will pay interest only on this debt. BBA’s marginal tax rate is expected to be 30% for the foreseeable future.
a) Suppose BBA pays interest of 6% per year on its debt. What is its annual interest tax shield?
b) What is the present value of the interest tax shield, assuming the tax shield’s risk is the same as that of the loan?
c) Suppose instead that the interest rate on the debt is 5%. What is the present value of the interest tax shield in this case?
Ten years have passed since BBA issued $10 million in perpetual interest-only debt with a 6% annual coupon. Tax rates have remained the same at 30% but interest rates have dropped so BBA’s current cost of debt capital is 4%.
d) What is BBA’s annual interest tax shield now?
e) What is the present value of the interest tax shield now?
Arnell Industries has 5.5 million in permanent debt outstanding. The firm will pay interest only on this debt. Arnell's marginal tax rate is expected to be 40% for the foreseeable future. a. Suppose Arnell pays interest of 9% per year on its debt. What is its annual interest tax shield? b. What is the present value of the interest tax shield, assuming its risk is the same as the loan? c. Suppose instead the interest rate on the debt were 7%. What is the present value of the interest tax shield in this case?
Company B currently has $25 million in debt outstanding. In addition to 9.0% interest, it plans to repay 6% of the remaining balance each year. If Company B has a marginal corporate tax rate of 38%, and if the interest tax shields have the same risk as the loan, what is the present value of the interest tax shield from the debt?
