Debenture Valuation
A debenture is a private and long-term debt instrument issued by financial, non-financial institutions, governments, or corporations. A debenture is classified as a type of bond, where the instrument carries a fixed rate of interest, commonly known as the ‘coupon rate.’ Debentures are documented in an indenture, clearly specifying the type of debenture, the rate and method of interest computation, and maturity date.
Note Valuation
It is the process to determine the value or worth of an asset, liability, debt of the company. It can be determined by many processes or techniques. Many factors can impact the valuation of an asset, liability, or the company, like:

b. Your company plans to issue three-year maturity coupon bonds. Based on its
excellent credit rating, your company pays a low constant 3% risk premium over
the relevant term-structure rates. You plan to issue bonds priced at par (i.e. price =
face value). At what level should you plan to set the coupon on your bond to
justify this price?
c. Now assume that your company wishes to issue 3-year zero coupon bonds. At
what price will these bonds sell?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F7038cbde-5259-4f1b-ade8-fa8f6320a6eb%2F28b416a0-a376-4e46-8ead-d6c8adaba682%2F5p8rxxm_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
