Question

Dirty Don's Bicycle Shop is current financed with 100% equity. The firm currently has 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding, selling for $50 per share. Don is considering a capital restructuring project, where the firm would be financed with 45% debt and 55% equity. How many bonds would Don have to sell at par value? (Remember that par value of a bond is $1,000).

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of bonds to raise = 2250

Explanation:

given data

current financed = 100% equity

common stock outstanding = 100,000 shares

selling = $50 per share

debt = 45%

equity =55%

par value of a bond = $1,000

to find out

How many bonds would Don have to sell at par value

solution

we get here first the value of equity that is express as

value of equity = Number of shares × Price per share .................1

put here value

value of equity = 100,000 × $50

value of equity = $5,000,000

and

financed with bonds = 45 % of value of equity

financed with bonds = 45 % × $5,000,000

financed with bonds = $2,250,000

so

Number of bonds to raise is express as

Number of bonds to raise = $\frac{2,250,000}{1000}$

Number of bonds to raise = 2250
