1. Company Amliba.Inc is considering building a second headquarter in a new city. The new office will create 5000 new jobs for the city. So the government is incentivized to support the project.
The company plans to issue $100 million bond with coupon rate of 8%. Coupon will be paid annually and the bond matures in 5 year.
As a form of support, local government guarantee the bond, so the YTM of the bond at issuance is 5%.
Another bond with exactly the same features but without government guarantee is currently trading at a price that generate a YTM of 10%.
Calculate the value of the government guarantee to the firm. (Ignore taxes.)
The current value to the firm is higher by $20,570,004 if the Government provides the Guarentee.
Thus, the value of the Government Guarentee is $20,570,004
