d)
Answer to Problem 21QP
The value and the yield on the debt is $12,177.03 and 21.12% respectively.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The management has proposed a plan where the firm will repay the same face value of the debt amount. However, the repayment will not happen for 5 years.
Equation to compute the PV:
Compute the PV with five year maturity period:
Hence, the present value is $27,258.03.

Calculate d2:
Hence, d2 is -$0.8374.
Compute N (d1) and N (d2):
Note: The cumulative frequency distribution value for 0.5043 is 0.69297471 and for -0.8374 is 0.20118388.
Formula to calculate the call price using the black-scholes model:
Where,
S is the stock price
E is the exercise price
C is the call price
R is the risk-free rate
t is the period of maturity
Calculate the call price:
Hence, the call price is $9,622.97.
