Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 101.1C

Debtholders receive note contracts, one for each note, that describe the payments promised by the issuer of the debt. In addition, the issuing corporation frequently enters a supplementary agreement, callcd a note indenture, with a trustee who represents the debtholders. The provisions or covenants of the indenture may place restrictions on the issuer for the benefit of the debtholders. For example, an indenture may require that the issuer’s debt to equity ratio never rise above a specified level or that periodic payments be made to the trustee who administers a “sinking fund" to provide for the retirement of debt.

Consider Roswell Manufacturing’s debt indenture, which requires that Roswell’s debt to equity ratio never exceed 2:1. If Roswell violates this requirement, the debt indenture specifies very costly penalties, and if the violation continues, the entire debt issue must be retired at a disadvantageous price and refinanced. In recent years, Roswell’s ratio has averaged about 1.5:1 ($15 million in total liabilities and $10 million in total stockholders’ equity). However, Roswell has an opportunity to purchase one of its major competitors, Ashland Products. The acquisition will require $4.5 million in additional liabilities, but it will double Roswell’s net income. Roswell does not believe that a stock issue is feasible in the current environment. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard concerning accounting for post employment benefits, which is strongly supported by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Implementation of the new standard will add about S2 million to Roswell’s long-term liabilities. Roswell’s CEO. Martha Cooper, has written a strong letter of objection to the FASB. The FASB received similar letters from over 300 companies.

Required;

1. Write a paragraph presenting an analysis of the impact of the new standard on Roswell Manufacturing.
