Silver Limited, a producer of electricity using biomass, issued 15,000 bonds three years ago with the following terms: • Par value = $1,000 • 7% coupon (paid semi-annually) • 10 years to maturity Last year, dividends of $4.00 per share was paid, and it is expected to grow at 5% per year for the next four years. Given the adoption of cleaner energy, dividends are expected to decline 3% (effective and starting from the fifth year) per year to perpetuity. Currently, Silver Limited shares are trading at $35 per share and the risk-free rate is 4%. Assume the appropriate discount rate for Silver Limited’s bonds and equity is 9% and 15% respectively. Discuss the impact on the Silver Limited’s bond price if a call provision was included and the credit rating changed from Baa (on issuance) to A. No computations are required
