A municipality needs funding for upcoming infrastructure (water and sewer line) repair or replacement. They issue a series of $1,000, 7% semiannual, 11-year bonds
. The bonds are initially sold at a discount for $980.
If you buy a bond for $980, plan to sell it immediately following the 16th interest payment, and want to earn 9% compounded semiannually on your money, what must be the selling price?
Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to 2 decimal places.
The Goodsmith Charitable Foundation, which is tax-exempt, issued debt last year at 10 percent to help finance a new playground facility in Los Angeles. This year the cost of debt is 30 percent higher; that is, firms that paid 12 percent for debt last year will be paying 15.60 percent this year.
If the Goodsmith Charitable Foundation borrowed money this year, what would the aftertax cost of debt be, based on their cost last year and the 30 percent increase? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input the answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
If the receipts of the foundation were found to be taxable by the IRS (at a rate of 35 percent because of involvement in political activities), what would the aftertax cost of debt be? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input the answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Raffie’s Kids, a nonprofit organization that provides aid to victims of domestic violence, low-income families, and special-needs children, has a 30-year, 5% mortgage on the existing building. The mortgage requires monthly payments of $3,000. Raffie’s bookkeeper is preparing financial statements for the board and, in doing so, lists the mortgage balance of $287,000 under current liabilities because the board hopes to be able to pay the mortgage off in full next year. Of the mortgage principal, $20,000 will be paid next year if Raffie’s pays according to the mortgage agreement. The board members call you, their trusted CPA, to advise them on how Raffie’s Kids should report the mortgage on its balance sheet.

- The employee credit union at State University is planning the allocation of funds for the coming year. The credit union makes four types of loans to its members. In addition, the credit union invests in risk-free securities to stabilize income. The various revenue-producing investments, together with annual rates of return, are as follows: The credit union will have 2 million available for investment during the coming year. State laws are credit union policies impose the following restrictions on the composition of the loans and investments: Risk-free securities may not exceed 30% of the total funds available for investment. Signature loans may not exceed 10% of the funds invested in all loans (automobile, furniture, other secured, and signature loans). Furniture loans plus other secured loans may not exceed the automobile loans. Other secured loans plus signature loans may not exceed the funds invested in risk-free securities. How should the 2 million be allocated to each of the loan/investment alternatives to maximize total annual return? What is the projected total annual return?arrow_forwardRaffie’s Kids, a nonprofit organization that provides aid to victims of domestic violence, low-income families, and special-needs children, has a 30-year, 5% mortgage on the existing building.

Suppose that each loan begins on September 1 of its year, that you finish college in four years, that you do not pay the accruing interest in the meantime, and that you begin repayment on December 1 after graduation. What is your total debt on that December 1, and how much of that is interest? The first loan accumulates interest of $5500 ×× 51 ≈ $1002.79, and the second loan accumulates interest of $6500 ××39 = $906.26. Your total debt is $5500 + $1002.79 + $6500 + $906.26 = $13,909.05, including a total of $1909.05 in interest.arrow_forward
- Hello. I need help with the following question please. To calculate the after-tax cost of debt, multiply the before-tax cost of debt by(1 – T) . Omni Consumer Products Company (OCP) can borrow funds at an interest rate of 9.70% for a period of four years. Its marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 45%. OCP’s after-tax cost of debt is 5.34% (rounded to two decimal places). At the present time, Omni Consumer Products Company (OCP) has 5-year noncallable bonds with a face value of $1,000 that are outstanding. These bonds have a current market price of $1,050.76 per bond, carry a coupon rate of 10%, and distribute annual coupon payments. The company incurs a federal-plus-state tax rate of 45%. If OCP wants to issue new debt, what would be a reasonable estimate for its after-tax cost of debt (rounded to two decimal places)? 3.83% 5.75% 4.79% 4.31%arrow_forwardThe treasurer for the Macon Blue Sox baseball team is seeking a $23,600 loan for one year from the 4th National Bank of Macon. The stated interest rate is 10 percent, and there is a 15 percent compensating balance requirement. The treasurer always keeps a minimum of $2,280 in the baseball team’s checking accounts. These funds count toward meeting any compensating balance requirements. What will be the effective rate of interest on this loan? (Use a 360-day year.

At the moment, the bank is considering purchasing an $8 million general obligation issue from the York school district, the only bond issue that the district plans this year.

Forever Savings, which is in the top corporate tax bracket of 35 percent, must pay an average interest rate of 4.25 percent to borrow the funds needed to purchase the municipals. Would you recommend purchasing these bonds? Calculate the net after-tax return on this bank-qualified municipal security? What is the tax advantage for being a qualified bond?arrow_forward
