FINANCING EAST COAST YACHTS'S EXPANSION PLANS WITH A BOND ISSUE
After Dan’s EFN analysis for East Coast Yachts (see the Mini Case in Chapter 3), Larissa has decided to expand the company’s operations. She has asked Dan to enlist an underwriter to help sell $50 million in new 20-year bonds to finance new construction. Dan has entered into discussions with Kim McKenzie, an underwriter from the firm of Crowe & Mallard, about which bond features East Coast Yachts should consider and also what coupon rate the issue will likely have. Although Dan is aware of bond features, he is uncertain as to the costs and benefits of some of them, so he isn’t clear on how each feature would affect the coupon rate of the bond issue.
1. You are Kim’s assistant, and she has asked you to prepare a memo to Dan describing the effect of each of the following bond features on the coupon rate of the bond. She would also like you to list any advantages or disadvantages of each feature.
a. The security of the bond, that is, whether or not the bond has collateral.
b. The seniority of the bond.
c. The presence of a sinking fund.
d. A call provision with specified call dates and call prices.
e. A deferred call accompanying the above call provision.
f. A make-whole call provision.
g. Any positive covenants. Also, discuss several possible positive covenants East Coast Yachts might consider.
h. Any negative covenants. Also, discuss several possible negative covenants East Coast Yachts might consider.
i. A conversion feature (note that East Coast Yachts is not a publicly traded company).
j. A floating rate coupon.
Dan is also considering whether to issue coupon bearing bonds or zero coupon bonds. The YTM on either bond issue will be 7.5 percent. The coupon bond would have a 6.5 percent coupon rate. The company’s tax rate is 35 percent.

- The Case:Hassan Mustafa has recently started his new job as a financial manager in a firm called ScanSoft. ScanSoft is developing a new process to manufacture optical disks. The development costs were higher than expected, so ScanSoft requires an immediate cash inflow of $5,200,000. To raise the required capital, the company decided to issue bonds. Since ScanSoft had no expertise in issuing and selling bonds, Hassan suggested that the company work with an investment dealer. The investment dealer bought the company's entire bond issue at a discount, and then planned to sell the bonds to the public at face value or the current market value. To ensure it would raise the $5,200,000 it required, ScanSoft plans to issue 5200 bonds with a face value of $1000 each, on January 20, 2021. Interest is paid semi-annually on July 20 and January 20, beginning July 20, 2021.
