Assignment 2
Call premium = 10,000,000 * 8% = 800,000
Cost of calling old bond = 10,000,000 + 800,000 = 10,800,000
Borrowing expense on new issue
Underwriting cost per year = 400,000/5 = $80,000
Tax saving each year = 800,000 * 40% = 32,000
Calculation for PV
N= 5, PMT = 32,000, FV= 0, I/Y = 9%
PV= 124,468.84
Net cost of borrowing = 400,000 – (124, 468.84) = 275,531.16
Step B
Cost savings:
12% * 10,000,000 * (1-o.40) = 720,000
9% * 10,000,000 * (1-0.40) = 540,000
After tax savings = 720,000 – 540,000 = 180,000
Calculation for PV
PMT = 180,000, I/Y = 9, N = 12, FV = 0
PV = 1,288,930.55
Step C
Net present Value
800,000 + 275,531.16 = 1,075,531.16 (outlflows)
Inflow = 1,288930.55
Net present value = 213,399.40
Refund because the NPV is positive
