a)
To discuss:
The net proceeds from the sale of a bond.
Introduction:
The net proceeds from the sale of a bond are defined as the funds that a firm receives from the sale of a bond. Bonds are either sold at discount, at par or at premium. The net proceeds from the sale of a bond is the difference between the total proceeds and the underwriting charges and brokerage fees. Floatation cost refers to the total cost of issuing and selling of securities. Floatation cost includes two components the underwriting charges and brokerage fees. The floatation costs reduce the total proceeds received by the firm as they are paid from the bond funds. The floatation cost is the difference between the total proceeds and net proceeds.
b)
To discuss:
The cash flows from the point of view over the maturity of bonds.
Introduction:
Every firm requires capital to fund their long term investments. The typical sources of capital for a firm include debt and equity. Firms often raise their capital by selling securities such as common stock,
c)
To discuss:
The before-tax and after –tax cost of debt.
Introduction:
The before tax cost of debt is defined as the
When after tax cost of the debt is ri and rd is the before-tax cost of a debt, with the tax rate of the firm T, before-tax cost can be converted to after -tax cost by using the following equation,
d)
To discuss:
To calculate the before-tax and after –tax cost of debt using approximation formula.
Introduction:
The before -tax cost debt is the rate of return the firm must pay on a new borrowing. The after-tax cost of a debt is the cost after deducting the tax amount.
When after tax cost of the debt is ri and rd is the before-tax cost of a debt, with the tax rate of the firm T, before-tax cost can be converted to after -tax cost by using the following equation,
Using the approximation the before-tax cost of the debt is calculated when the annual interest payment in dollars (I), the net proceeds from the sale of a bond (Nd) and term of the bond in years (n) , using the equation,
e.
To discuss:
Comparison between the two approaches.
Introduction:
The before -tax cost debt is the rate of return the firm must pay on a new borrowing. The after-tax cost of a debt is the cost after deducting the tax amount.
When after tax cost of the debt is ri and rd is the before-tax cost of a debt, with the tax rate of the firm T, before-tax cost can be converted to after -tax cost by using the following equation,

- Bond Valuation with Semiannual Payments Renfro Rentals has issued bonds that have a 10% coupon rate, payable semiannually. The bonds mature in 8 years, have a face value of $1,000, and a yield to maturity of 8.5%. What is the price of the bonds?arrow_forwardBond Valuation and Interest Rate Risk The Garraty Company has two bond issues outstanding. Both bonds pay 100 annual interest plus 1,000 at maturity. Bond L has a maturity of 15 years, and Bond S has a maturity of 1 year. a. What will be the value of each of these bonds when the going rate of interest is (1) 5%, (2) 8%, and (3) 12%? Assume that there is only one more interest payment to be made on Bond S. b. Why does the longer-term (15-year) bond fluctuate more when interest rates change than does the shorter-term bond (1 year)?arrow_forwardHasting Corporation is interested in acquiring Vandell Corporation. Vandell has 1 million shares outstanding and a target capital structure consisting of 30% debt; its beta is 1.4 (given its target capital structure). Vandell has $10.82 million in debt that trades at par and pays an 8% interest rate. Vandell’s free cash flow (FCFJ is $2 million per year and is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% a year. Vandell pays a 40% combined federal and state tax rate. The risk-free rate of interest is 5%, and the market risk premium is 6%. Hasting’s First step is to estimate the current intrinsic value of Vandell. What are Vandell’s cost of equity and weighted average cost of capital? What is Vandell’s intrinsic value of operations? [Hint: Use the free cash flow corporate valuation model from Chapter 8.) What is the current intrinsic value of Vandell’s stock?arrow_forward
