Bandon Manufacturing intends to issue callable, perpetual bonds with annual coupon payments and a par value of $1, 000. The bonds are callable at $1, 230. One year interest rates are 8 percent. There is a 60 percent probability that long-term interest rates one year from today will be 10 percent, and a 40 percent probability that they will be 8 percent.

Drongo Corporation's 4-year bonds currently yield 7.7 percent and have an inflation premium of 3.7%. The real risk-free rate of interest, r*, is 2.6 percent and is assumed to be constant.
