Your firm wishes to raise 10,000,000 by either issuing regular coupon bonds or issuing zero coupon bonds. The regular coupon bonds will have a 10% coupon rate. Both issues are expected to mature in 12 years,pay annual, and have a yield of 6%.
a.If they opted to go with regular bonds, what is the firms total repayment in year 12?
b.If they opted to go with zero coupon bonds, what is the firms total repayment in year 12?
please explain repayment portion ^^^
Price of the coupon bonds is calculated as below:
nper | 12 | |
PMT | 100 | |
Rate | 6% | |
FV | 1000 | |
Selling price | 1335.35 | [ -pv(rate, nper, pmt,fv)] |
a1. No of coupon bonds sold = 10,000,000 / $1335.35 = 7489 bonds
a2. Price of the zero coupon bonds = 1000 / ( 1+ 10%) 12 = 318.63
No of zeroes to be issued = 10,000,000 / $318.63= 31384 bonds
b1. Repayment of coupon bonds = 7489 *(1000 + 1000* 10%) = 8,237,541
Reason: The coupon bonds are repaid along with the interest i.e. the coupon amount at the time of repayment . In this case they are repaid at a value of $1100 ( face value + interest of 100) during redemption.
b2. Repayment of zeroes =31384 * 1000 = 31,384,000
Reason: Zero coupon bonds are issued at a discount since they do not carry any interest while at the time of redemption they are paid in full at face value.
Any doubt please comment, If it has helped you, please give a thumbs up.
