No excel. I need to see the work or I will not understand. Blue Jeans Incorporated needs to raise $ 4.5 million of funds on a 12-year issue. If it places the bonds privately, the interest rate will be 10 percent. Fifty thousand dollars in out-of-pocket costs will be incurred. For a public issue, the interest rate will be 9 percent, and the underwriting spread will be 1.5 percent. There will be $110,000 in out-of-pocket costs. The debt will be outstanding for the full 12-year period, at which time it will be repaid. For each plan, compare the net amount of funds initially available to the present value of future payments of interest and principal to determine net present value. Assume the stated discount rate is 13 percent annually.
