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:
Titan Mining Corporation has 9 million shares of common stock outstanding and 200,000 bonds outstanding with 8 percent coupon rate, semiannual payments and par value $1,000 each. The common stock currently sells for $30 per share and has a beta of 1.20, and the bonds have 20 years to maturity and sell for 115 percent of par. The market risk premium is 6 percent, T-bills are 2 percent, and the company’s tax rate is 20 percent. If the company is evaluating a new investment project that has higher risk (beta of the project is 1.5) than the firm’s typical project, what rate should the firm use to discount the project’s cash flows?
