- Suppose your company needs to raise $35.8 million and you want to issue 23- year bonds for this purpose. Assume the required return on your bond issue will be 8.3 percent, and you?re evaluating two issue alternatives: a 8.3 percent semiannual coupon bond and a zero coupon bond. Your company's tax rate is 35 percent. Requirement 1: (a) How many of the coupon bonds would you need to issue to raise the $35.8 million? (b) How many of the zeroes would you need to issue? Requirement 2: (a) In 23 years, what will your company's repayment be if you issue the coupon bonds? (b) What if you issue the zeroes? Requirement 3: Assume that the IRS amortization rules apply for the zero coupon bonds. Calculate the firm's aftertax cash outflows for the first year under the two different scenarios.arrow_forwardBaghibenarrow_forwardces Suppose your company needs to raise $40.3 million and you want to issue 30-year bonds for this purpose. Assume the required return on your bond issue will be 5.3 percent, and you're evaluating two issue alternatives: a semiannual coupon bond with a coupon rate of 5.3 percent and a zero coupon bond. The tax rate is 23 percent. Both bonds will have a par value of $1,000. a. How many of the coupon bonds would you need to issue to raise the $40.3 million? How many of the zeroes would you need to issue? Note: Do not round Intermediate calculations. Round your coupon bond answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32 and your zero coupon bond answer to 2 decimals, e.g., 32.16. b.
