| Step-1:Calculation of current value of bond | |||||||||||||
| Semi annual period | Cash flow | Discount factor | Present Value | ||||||||||
| 1-14 | $ 34.50 | 11.1436 | $ 384.45 | ||||||||||
| 14 | $ 1,000 | 0.6434 | $ 643.40 | ||||||||||
| Total | $ 1,027.86 | ||||||||||||
| Working: | |||||||||||||
| Present Value of annuity of 1 | = | (1-(1+i)^-n)/i | Where, | ||||||||||
| = | (1-(1+0.032)^-14)/0.032 | i | 6.4%/2 | = | 0.032 | ||||||||
| = | 11.1436 | n | 7*2 | = | 14 | ||||||||
| Present Value of 1 | = | (1+i)^-n | |||||||||||
| = | (1+0.032)^-14 | ||||||||||||
| = | 0.6434 | ||||||||||||
| Semi annual coupon interest | = | Par Value x Semi annual couopon rate | |||||||||||
| = | $ 1,000 | x | 6.9%/2 | ||||||||||
| = | $ 34.50 | ||||||||||||
| Step-2:Calculation of selling value of total bonds | |||||||||||||
| Total value of bonds | = | Total number of bonds x Selling price of a bond | |||||||||||
| (Debt) | = | 2,85,000 | x | $ 1,027.86 | |||||||||
| = | $ 29,29,39,817 | ||||||||||||
| Step-3:Calculation of total value of Equity | |||||||||||||
| Total Market value of equity | = | Number of shares x Market price per share | |||||||||||
| (Equity) | = | 90,00,000 | x | $ 27 | |||||||||
| = | $ 24,30,00,000 | ||||||||||||
| Step-4:Calculation of company’s market value debt–equity ratio | |||||||||||||
| Company’s market value debt–equity ratio | = | Market Value of Debt/Market Value of Equity | |||||||||||
| = | $ 29,29,39,817 | / | $ 24,30,00,000 | ||||||||||
