EXCEL TEMPLATE) Watchstone Concrete Products issued 30-year maturity bonds 15 years ago with a coupon rate of 10.75%. The principal amount was $15,000,000. Interest rates have steadily decreased and the company could issue new bonds today at a coupon rate of 9.50%. The new issue would be used to pay off the old bonds and would have a maturity of 15 years. The original issue had flotation costs of $375,000 which were set up on an amortization schedule over 30 years with equal amounts each year. The old bonds are callable with a premium of 4.5%. An investment banking firm would charge a flotation fee of $225,000 on the new issue that would be amortized over the life of the new bonds. Rover’s marginal tax rate is 25%. Calculate the NPV of the bond refund

Expert Solution

Step 1: Incremental Initial flow

Raise the fund	15,000,000
Repay the old bond	(15,000,000)
Floatation cost on new bond	(225,000)
Call Premium (15,000,000*4.5%)	(675,000)
Tax saved on call premium (675,000*25%)	168,750
Tax saved on unamortised portion of floatation cost of old bond (WN 1)	46,875

Sum (684,375)

Step 2: Incremental inbetween flows

Payment of interest in new bond (15,000,000*9.5%)	(1,425,000)
Tax saved on above @25%	356,250
old interest saved (15,000,000*10.75%)	1,612,500
Tax lost on old interest @25%	(403,125)
Tax saved on floatation cost of new bond (WN 2)	3,750
Tax lost on floatation cost of old bond (12,500*25%)	(3,125)

sum 141,250

Step 3: Incremental terminal flow

Repayment of new bond	(15,000,000)
Savings in repayment of old bond	15,000,000

Sum 0

Step 4: Calculation of NPV

In the absence of discount rate being given, the coupon rate associated with new bond is the pre tax discount rate. So post tax discount rate=9.5%(no tax here)

Year	Cashflow	[email protected]%	*CashflowPVF**
0	(684,375)	1	-684375.00
1-15	141,250	7.8282	1105733.25
15	-	0.2563	0.00

NPV = PV of Inflows - PV of outflows

= 1105733.25-684375

= 421358.25

Decision: Since the NPV is positive, refund the bonds.
