Cost of Debt KatyDid Clothes has a $150 million (face value) 30-year bond issue selling for 104 percent of par that carries a co

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

the annual pre-tax cost of debt is 10.56%

Explanation:

the beore-tax component cost of debt will be the actual market rate of the bonds, as they offer an interest rate of 11% but are selling at 104 points not at par thus, there is a difference between the rates.

We solve for the rate which makes the coupon and maturity 104

with excel or a financial calculator

PV of the coupon payment

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 5.500 (100 x 11%/2)

time 60 (30 years x 2 payment per year)

rate 0.052787474

$5.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0527874736258532)^{-60} }{0.0527874736258532} = PV\\$

PV $99.4338

PV of the maturity

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 100.00

time 60.00

rate 0.052787474

$\frac{100}{(1 + 0.0527874736258532)^{60} } = PV$

PV 4.57

Adding both we should get 104 which is the amount the bonds is selling:

PV coupon $99.4338 + PV maturity $4.5662 = $104.0000

The rate is generated using goal seek or wiht a financial calculator.

This rate is a semiannual rate, so we multiply by 2 to get the annual cost of debt:

0.052787474 x 2 = 0.105574947

The cost of debt for the firm is 10.56%

Answer:

B. set a minimum and maximum threshold price to liquidate as much of the Dyno-Mite stock as the customer will permit, and invest the proceeds in high yielding common and preferred stocks

Explanation:

Given that, the customer has a "moderate" risk tolerance level and dividend income is at the moment taxed at the preferential rate of 15%, therefore, it is expected that investments in high yielding common and preferred stocks will meet the customer's objective of tax-advantaged income.

Hence, the right answer is Option B. set a minimum and maximum threshold price to liquidate as much of the Dyno-Mite stock as the customer will permit, and invest the proceeds in high yielding common and preferred stocks
