f)
To determine: The semiannually post-tax interest savings that would result from the refunding.

Explanation of Solution
The interest on the old issue is
g)
To determine: The sum of these two semiannual cash flows and appropriate discount rate to apply to these two semiannual cash flows and the present value.

Explanation of Solution
The estimated amortization tax benefits over 20 years are about $3,200 per year, while the net interest costs over 20 years are about $360,000 per year. The net semi-annual cash balance, as shown below, is thus $356,800.
The cash flows are predicated on treaty obligations and therefore have about the same level of risk as to the debt of the company. In fact, the cash flows are already tax-net. Consequently, the suitable interest rate is the after-tax cost of debt to GST.(The citation of the cash to fund the net investment expenditure also affects the discount rate, but most companies use debt to finance that expenditure, and in this case, the discount rate should be the after-tax debt cost.)Finally, as we are valuing future flows, the correct debt cost is the cost of today, or the cost of the new issue, and not the debt cost that floated five years ago. The appropriate rate of discount is thus 0.6(8 percent) = 4.8 percent per annum, or 2.4 percent per semi-annual period.

Explanation of Solution
The redemption of bonds would entail a net cash outlay of $3,472,000, but on a present-value basis it would yield $9,109,413 in net savings. The refunding NPV is thus $5,637,413:
The choice to repay instead of wait until later is much harder than finding the refunding NPV now. If interest rates were expected to fall, and therefore GST could issue debt below today's 8 percent rate in the future, then it might pay to wait. Interest rate motions, however, are very difficult to predict, if not impossible, and thus most

- CHALLENGE PROBLEM The long-term liabilities section of Guyton Enterprises follows. The bonds outstanding on January 1, 20-1, have an annual coupon rate of 4% and had been issued several years ago at a price to yield 5% per year. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method. On December 31, 20-1, 900,000, 5% bonds were issued at a price to yield 6%. REQUIRED Compute the cash received from issuing the bonds on December 31, 20-1. (Hint: If you have not covered the effective interest method, assume that bond interest expense for 20-1 was 44,767.)arrow_forwardBond Valuation and Interest Rate Risk The Garraty Company has two bond issues outstanding. Both bonds pay 100 annual interest plus 1,000 at maturity. Bond L has a maturity of 15 years, and Bond S has a maturity of 1 year. a. What will be the value of each of these bonds when the going rate of interest is (1) 5%, (2) 8%, and (3) 12%? Assume that there is only one more interest payment to be made on Bond S. b. Why does the longer-term (15-year) bond fluctuate more when interest rates change than does the shorter-term bond (1 year)?arrow_forwardIssue Price The following terms relate to independent bond issues: 500 bonds; $1,000 face value; 8% stated rate; 5 years; annual interest payments 500 bonds; $1,000 face value; 8% stated rate; 5 years; semiannual interest payments 800 bonds; $1,000 face value; 8% stated rate; 10 years; semiannual interest payments 2,000 bonds; $500 face value; 12% stated rate; 15 years; semiannual interest payments Required Assuming the market rate of interest is 10%, calculate the selling price for each bond issue.arrow_forward
