1st Issue of Bond:
Face Value = $25,000,000
Market Value = $25,000,000 * 87%
Market Value = $21,750,000
Annual Coupon Rate = 8%
Semiannual Coupon Rate = 4%
Semiannual Coupon = 4% * $25,000,000
Semiannual Coupon = $1,000,000
Time to Maturity = 30 years
Semiannual Period to Maturity = 60
Let semiannual YTM be i%
$21,750,000 = $1,000,000 * PVIFA(i%, 60) + $25,000,000 * PVIF(i%, 60)
Using financial calculator:
N = 60
PV = -21750000
PMT = 1000000
FV = 25000000
I = 4.65%
Semiannual YTM = 4.65%
Annual YTM = 2 * 4.65%
Annual YTM = 9.30%
2nd Issue of Bond:
Face Value = $77,000,000
Market Value = $77,000,000 * 74%
Market Value = $56,980,000
Time to Maturity = 7 years
Semiannual Period to Maturity = 14
Let semiannual YTM be i%
$56,980,000 = $77,000,000 * PVIF(i%, 14)
Using financial calculator:
N = 14
PV = -56980000
PMT = 0
FV = 77000000
I = 2.174%
Semiannual YTM = 2.174%
Annual YTM = 2 * 2.174%
Annual YTM = 4.35%
Answer a.
Total Book Value of Debt = Face Value of 1st Issue of
Bond + Face Value of 2nd Issue of Bond
Total Book Value of Debt = $25,000,000 + $77,000,000
Total Book Value of Debt = $102,000,000
Answer b.
Total Market Value of Debt = Market Value of 1st
Issue of Bond + Market Value of 2nd Issue of Bond
Total Market Value of Debt = $21,750,000 + $56,980,000
Total Market Value of Debt = $78,730,000
Answer c.
Weight of 1st Issue of Bond = Market Value of
1st Issue of Bond / Total Market Value of Debt
Weight of 1st Issue of Bond = $21,750,000 /
$78,730,000
Weight of 1st Issue of Bond = 0.2763
Weight of 2nd Issue of Bond = Market Value of
2nd Issue of Bond / Total Market Value of Debt
Weight of 2nd Issue of Bond = $56,980,000 /
$78,730,000
Weight of 2nd Issue of Bond = 0.7237
Before-tax Cost of Debt = Weight of 1st Issue of
Bond*Annual YTM + Weight of 2nd Issue of Bond*Annual
YTM
Before-tax Cost of Debt = 0.2763*9.30% + 0.7237*4.35%
Before-tax Cost of Debt = 5.718%
After-tax Cost of Debt = 5.718% * (1 - 0.34)
After-tax Cost of Debt = 3.79%
