a.
To determine: Present value of a risk-free bond.
Risk Free Bond:
It is a theoretical bond, which is free from the risk of repayment and that repays interest and principal completely at the time of maturity.
a.

Explanation of Solution
Given,
Face value of the bond is $40,000.
Risk free rate is 6%.
Maturity is 5 years.
Formula to calculate present value of a risk free bond is,
Where,
- PV is present value.
- FV is face value of the bond.
- R is risk free rate.
- T is maturity time.
Substitute $40,000 for FV, 6 for R and 5 for T in the above equation.

(e)
To determine: Change in the value of equity and debt after restructure.
(e)

Explanation of Solution
Calculated values,
Value of equity before restructure is $18,693.17.
Value of equity after restructure is $16,180.64.
Value of debt before restructure is $19,332.31.
Value of debt after restructure is $21,844.84.
Formula to calculate change in equity value is,
Substitute $18,693.17 for value of equity before restructure and 16,180.64 for value of equity after restructure.
Formula to calculate change in value of debt is,
Substitute $19,332.31 for value of debt before restructure and 21,844.84 for value of debt after restructure.
Thus, after the restructuring of assets the value of debt has increased by $2512.53 and the value of equity had decreased by the same amount and hence, the restructuring is favorable for bond holders than the equity shareholders.

UPENN: LOOSE LEAF CORP.FIN W/CONNECT
- Dynamic Energy Wares (DEW) has decided to change the manner in which it distributes its products to large companies. The change in the distribution system comes at a time when DEW’s profits are declining. The declining profits might not be the sole reason for the change, but it appears to be the primary impetus for the decision. It also appears that the new policy requiring DEW’s distributors to increase inventory levels before the end of the fiscal year will artificially inflate DEW’s sales for the current year. However, DEW’s new policy does not require the distributors to pay for any increased inventory until next year (six months), and any unsold inventory can be returned after nine months. So, if the demand for DEW’s products actually is decreasing, the impact will appear on next year’s financial statements. If the financial manager actually intends to artificially inflate DEW’s profits this year, she must realize that such actions eventually will “catch up” with her.

- $1.35 Million for the below question is incorrect, Machine A is $1.81 and Machine B is $0.46 Million. The Perez Company has the opportunity to invest in one of two mutually exclusive machines that will produce a product it will need for the foreseeable future. Machine A costs $8 million but realizes after-tax inflows of $4.5 million per year for 4 years. After 4 years, the machine must be replaced. Machine B costs $17 million and realizes after-tax inflows of $4 million per year for 8 years, after which it must be replaced. Assume that machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components used in the machines. The cost of capital is 13%.
