16. Consider a firm with a market value equal 100. The firm is financed with a zero- coupon bond with a face value of 100, maturing at the end of the year. At the end of the year the value of the firm can be either 130 or 80. The firm has 10 invested in one-year T-bills earning 10%. The firm has just discovered a new project. This project requires an investment of 10 and will be worth at the end of the year, either 8 (when the firm is otherwise worth 130) or 16 (when the firm is otherwise worth 80.) If this project is taken, what will happen to the value of the stock?
Multiple Choice

Chapter 12, Problem 3
IBM needs to raise $I billion and is trying to decide between a domestic dollar bond issue and a Eurobond issue. The U.S. bond can be issued at a coupon of 6.75 percent, paid semiannually, with underwriting and other expenses totaling 0.95 percent of the issue size. The Eurobond would cost only 0.55 percent to issue but would bear an annual coupon of 6.88 percent. Both issues would mature in 10 years.
a. Assuming all else is equal, which is the least expensive issue for IBM?
B. What other factors might IBM want to consider before deciding which bond to issue?
