Suppose you decide to go this route and you issue a $130,000, 9%, 5-year bonds for $115,375 when the market rate is 12%. The bonds pay interest semi-annually. Prepare an amortization table for the first three payments. The premium is amortized using the straight-line method. Prepare journal entries for the following transactions. July 1, 2021: entry to record issuing the bonds. 31, 2021: entry to record payment of interest to bondholders. 31, 2021: entry to record amortization of premium.arrow_forwardPharoah Ltd. has issued bonds that never require the principal amount to be repaid to investors.

- Suppose that a firm has 5 bondholders each expecting to be paid today their principal of $1 million each. The firm is in default, as its going-concern value is only $3 million, falling short of the $5 million to be repaid. The firm could liquidate and sell all of its assets for a value of $1 million, so that each bondholder would recover $200,000 on their claim. The firm offers its bondholders a debt-for-equity swap, but four of out the five bondholders must participate and become equityholders for the swap to succeed. In the table below, calculate the "lower bound" payoff if only four bondholders participate and the "upper bound" payoff if all five bondholders participate. The correct answer is lower bound=$500,000 and upper bound=$600,000arrow_forwardWhat is the answer ?arrow_forwardABC company will contract a new loan in the sum of $2,000,000 that is secured by machinery and the loan has an interest rate of 6 percent. The company has also issued 4,000 new bond issues with an 8 percent coupon, paid semi-annually, and matures in 10 years. The bonds were sold at par and incurred a floatation cost of 2 percent per issue. 1. Does the New loan have anything to do with calculating the cost of debt? 2. Should the new loan be considered in the calculation of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of the company? if so how should it be added to the WACC formula.arrow_forward
