Bond valuation related problems should be solved by using a financial calculator or MS excel spreadsheet. Accordingly, you must show the values of all relevant time valu of money variables In order to accurately assess the capital structure of a firm, it is necessary to convert its balance sheet figures from historical book values to market values. KJM Corporation's balance sheet (book values) as of today is as follows: Long-term debt (bonds, at par) 23,500,000 Preferred stock 2,000,000 Common stock ($10 par) 10,000,000 Retained earnings 4,000,000 Total debt and equity $39,500,000 The bonds have a 7.0% coupon rate, payable semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. They mature exactly 10 years from today. The yield to maturity is 11%, so the bonds now sell below par. What is the current market value of the firm's debt (hint: bond price* numer of bond shares)?

Cost of debt: Since Mindflex's bonds do not trade very frequently, you have decided to use 9.07 percent as your cost of debt, which is the yield to maturity on a portfolio of bonds with a similar credit rating and maturity as Mindflex's outstanding debt. In addition, Mindflex faces a corporate tax rate of 34 percent. b. Cost of common equity: Mindfiex's common stock paid a $1.21 dividend last year.
