To protect itself, the firm has purchased an interest-rate cap of 5% per annum to cover this borrowing.

Long-term Borrowing Company (LBC) is raising new capital by selling bonds. Its investment bankers have estimated that if the company sets the coupon rate for the new bonds at 8% paid semiannually, it can sell them in the market for $1,102 per bond. The new bonds will have 15 years to maturity. The bankers have estimated that the cost of selling the new bonds will be $25 per bond.
