The debentures should have a coupon interest rate of 9% and an issue price of $101. Sen Corp.'s marginal income tax rate was 40%.

Based on the information given, the approach that describes the strategy that was used by the company is that Sen Corp. should issue the debentures since the after-tax cost of debt (5.347%) would be less than the cost of equity (5.825%).

A debenture simply refers to the rule of bond that's unsecured by collateral. Debentures typically rely on the reputation of the issuer.

From the complete information, the company wants to obtain $30 million in new capital to expand its plant. Therefore, it's appropriate to issue the debentures since issue the cost of equity is more than the after-tax cost of debt.

If the stadium made $2,150,000 last year for sports events but only made $1,650,000 this year, what is the percentage decrease i
stellarik [79]

23% decrease.


We can do this by simply dividing 1,650,000 by 2,150,000. That would give us 0.7674. Multiply that by 100 and you have 76.74%.

However, this is the percent amount of how 1,650,000 is out of 2,150,000. So, we need to simply minus this answer by 100 to get 23.26, or 23%.
