  • Term to maturity: 12 years

 

  1. What will the holder receive when the bond matures?

    Principal or All coupon payments?

  2. If the current rate of interest on comparable debt is 9 percent, what should be the price of this bond? Assume that the bond pays interest annually. Use Appendix B and Appendix D to answer the question. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

    Would you expect the firm to call this bond? Why?

    -Yes or No, since the bond is selling for a discount or premium?

  3. If the bond has a sinking fund that requires the firm to set aside annually with a trustee sufficient funds to retire the entire issue at maturity, how much must the firm remit each year for twelve years if the funds earn 9 percent annually and there is $120 million outstanding? Use Appendix C to answer the question. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
