Interest on the bonds is paid twice a year, the loan in contrast is repaid on quarterly basis. We also know that the market value of the share capital equals 1000, the nominal value of shares (appearing in the balance sheet as equity) amounts to 800, the nominal value of the long-term credit: 600, the nominal value of the issued bonds: 300. a.

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.
