Chapter 17, Problem 6SP

(Interest rate risk) Two years ago your corporate treasurer purchased, for the firm, a 20-year bond at its par value of $1,000. The coupon rate on this security is 8 percent. Interest payments are made to bondholders once a year. Currently, bonds of this particular risk class are yielding investors 9 percent. A cash shortage has forced you to instruct your treasurer to liquidate the bond.

  1. a. At what price will your bond be sold? Assume annual compounding.
  2. b. What will be the amount of your gain or loss over the original purchase price?
  3. c. What would be the amount of your gain or loss had the treasurer originally purchased a bond with a 4-year rather than a 20-year maturity? (Assume all characteristics of the bonds are identical except their maturity periods.)
  4. d. What do we call this type of risk assumed by your corporate treasurer?

At year-end 2019, Wallace Landscaping’s total assets were $2.30 million, and its accounts payable were $430,000. Sales, which in 2019 were $2.9 million, are expected to increase by 20% in 2020. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained. Wallace typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $630,000 in 2019, and retained earnings were $330,000. Wallace has arranged to sell $180,000 of new common stock in 2020 to meet some of its financing needs. The remainder of its financing needs will be met by issuing new long-term debt at the end of 2020. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Its net profit margin on sales is 5%, and 50% of earnings will be paid out as dividends. What was Wallace's total long-term debt in 2019?
