Answer:

The answer is option ( C.) Increase of 1.06 percent

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost of equity = 14.6%

Market risk premium = 8.4%

Risk-free rate = 3.9%

Company's beta = 1.4

Now,

Expected Return = Risk-free rate + ( Beta × Market risk premium )

= 3.9% + ( 1.4 × 8.4% )

= 3.9% + 11.76%

= 15.66%

Therefore,

The change in firm's cost of equity capital = 15.66% - 14.6%

= 1.06%

Hence,

The answer is option ( C.) Increase of 1.06 percent

Amram Inc. can issue a 20-year bond with a 6% annual coupon at par. This bond is not convertible, not callable, and has no sinki
Reil [10]

Answer:

B) The coupon rate could be less than, equal to, or greater than 6%, depending on the specific terms set, but in the real world the convertible feature would probably cause the coupon rate to be less than 6%.

Explanation:

Amram Inc. is issuing two bonds, one is not convertible and the other one is convertible and callable. Regardless of the coupon rate that they plan to set, convertible and callable bonds will usually (almost always) have a coupon rate that is lower than non-convertible or non-callable bonds.

Convertible bonds are bonds that can be converted or exchanged to common stock. Since convertible bonds offer more investment options, their risk is lower than non-convertible bonds.

Callable bonds is a bond that can be redeemed before the maturity date.
