a.
To compute: Value of a risk free bond.
Bonds:
Bond is that item, which is similar to stock but the bonds carries some sort of interest and discount elements as well. It can be zero coupon bond, risk free or any other. There are various types of bonds, which changes according to the company on which type of bond they want to use.
a.

Explanation of Solution
Given,
Face
Risk free rate is 0.05.
Time to maturity is 2 years.
Formula to calculate value of a risk free bond is:
Where,
- PV is present value of a risk free bond.
- FV is face value of the bond.
- R is risk free rate.
- T is time to expire.
Substitute $75,000 for FV, 0.05 for R and 2 for T,
Thus, the value of the risk free bond of ML Industries is $67,862.77.
b.
To compute: Price paid by the bondholders for put option.
b.

Explanation of Solution
Given,
Stock price is $46,000.
Exercise price is $75,000.

Time to maturity is 2 years.
Formula to calculate price of a call option is:
Where,
- S is stock price.
- E is exercise price.
- R is risk free rate.
- T is time to expire.
Substitute $46,000 for S, $75,000 for E, 0.05 for R and 2 for T,
Formula to calculate price of put option by put call parity is:
Where,
- C is price of call option.
- P is price of put option.
- S is stock price.
- E is exercise price.
- R is risk free rate.
- T is time to expire.
Substitute $9,594.80 for C, $46,000 for S, $75,000 for E, 0.05 for R and 2 for T,

c.

Explanation of Solution
Given,
Value of risk free bond is $67,862.77.
Value of put option is $31,457.57.
Time to maturity is 2 years.
Formula to calculate the value of firm’s debt is:
Substitute $67,862.77 for value of risk free bond and $31,457.57for value of put option,
Formula to calculate present value of firm’s debt is:
Substitute $36,405.2 for the present value of firm’s debt, $75,000 for future value of debt and 2 for T,
Hence, value of the company’s debt is $36,405.2 and the continuous compounded yield on company’s debt is 36.14%
d.
To compute: Value of debt under proposed plan and the new continuously compounded yield on the debt.
d.

Explanation of Solution
Given,
Face value of the bond is $75,000.
Stock price is $46,000.
Risk free rate is 0.05.
Time to maturity is 5 years.
Formula to calculate value of a risk free bond is:
Where,
- PV is present value of a risk free bond.
- FV is face value of the bond.
- R is risk free rate.
- T is time to expire.
Substitute $75,000 for FV, 0.05 for R and 5 for T,
Formula to calculate price of a call option is:
Where,
- S is stock price.
- E is exercise price.
- R is risk free rate.
- T is time to expire.
Substitute $46,000 for S, $75,000 for E, 0.05 for R and 5 for T,
Formula to calculate price of put option by put call parity is:
Where,
- C is price of call option.
- P is price of put option.
- S is stock price.
- E is exercise price.
- R is risk free rate.
- T is time to expire.
Substitute $19,932.195 for C, $46,000 for S, $75,000 for E, 0.05 for R and 5 for T,
Formula to calculate the value of firm’s debt is:
Substitute $58,410for value of risk free bond and $32,342.2 for value of put option,
Substitute $26,067.8 for the present value of firm’s debt, $75,000 for future value of debt and 5 for T,

The equipment's basic price is $64,000, and it would cost another $18,000 to modify it for special use by your firm. The chromatograph, which falls into the MACRS 3-year class, would be sold after 3 years for $28,400. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445 and 0.1481. (Ignore the half-year convention for the straight-line method.) Use of the equipment would require an increase in net working capital (spare parts inventory) of $3,000. The machine would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $24,760 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%.

It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $108,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $19,000 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The project cost of capital is 11%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Should Chen buy the new machine? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Negative value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign.arrow_forward
