The Virginia Corporation recently issued 10-year bonds at a price of $1,000. These bonds pay $60 in interest each six months. Their price has remained stable since they were issued. i.e. they still sell for $1,000. Due to additional financing needs, the firm wishes to issue new bonds that would have a maturity of 10 years, a par value of $1,000 and pay $40 in interest every six months. If both bonds have the same yield, how many new bonds must the company issue to raise $2,000,000 cash?

Suppose the Schoof Company has this book value balance sheet: The notes payable are to banks, and the interest rate on this debt is 10%, the same as the rate on new bank loans. These bank loans are not used for seasonal financing but instead are part of the companys permanent capital structure. The long-term debt consists of 30,000 bonds, each with a par value of 1,000, an annual coupon interest rate of 6%, and a 20-year maturity. The going rate of interest on new long-term debt, rd, is 10%, and this is the present yield to maturity on the bonds. The common stock sells at a price of 60 per share. Calculate the firms market value capital structure.

Global Products plans to issue long-term bonds to raise funds to finance its growth. The company has existing bonds that are similar to the bonds it expects to issue. The existing bonds have a face value of $1000, mature in 10 years, pay $60 interest coupon annually, and are currently selling for $1077 each. (Therefore, the current YTM on the bonds is 5 percent.) Assume that Global will issue the new bonds at an interest rate cost of 5 percent based on the current YTM on its existing bonds. Global's marginal tax rate is 40%. What is the after-tax cost of debt?

AYE Technologies issued 10-year bonds yesterday at their par value of RM1,000. These bonds pay RM60 in interest every six months, and their price has remained at the RM1,000 issue price. AYE's CFO has determined that the firm needs an additional RM2,000,000, and has decided to issue 10- year, RM1,000 par value bonds that pay only RM40 in interest every six months. If both bonds are to provide investors with the same yield, how many new bonds must AYE issue to raise RM2,000,000?

Corral Industries has decided to borrow money by issuing perpetual bonds with a coupon rate of 8.5 percent, payable annually. The one-year interest rate is 8.5 percent. Next year, there is a 40 percent probability that interest rates will increase to 10 percent, and there is a 60 percent probability that they will fall to 6 percent.

Assume that the bonds will be called if interest rates fall and that the call premium is equal to the annual coupon. a) 8.12% b) 8.77% c) 8.59% d) 8.35%
