- Suppose the Schoof Company has this book value balance sheet: The notes payable are to banks, and the interest rate on this debt is 10%, the same as the rate on new bank loans. These bank loans are not used for seasonal financing but instead are part of the companys permanent capital structure. The long-term debt consists of 30,000 bonds, each with a par value of 1,000, an annual coupon interest rate of 6%, and a 20-year maturity. The going rate of interest on new long-term debt, rd, is 10%, and this is the present yield to maturity on the bonds. The common stock sells at a price of 60 per share. Calculate the firms market value capital structure.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_forwardThatcher Corporation’s bonds will mature in 10 years. The bonds have a face value of $1,000 and an 8 percent coupon rate, paid semiannually. The price of the bond is $1,100. What is the firm’s cost (percentage rate) of borrowing money under these market conditions?arrow_forward
- Suppose Home Depot issues 30-year bonds on which it pays a 4.00% (nominal) interest rate. Further, suppose that both Home Depot and the purchasers of its bonds anticipate inflation will average 2.00% during the life of the loan. Now suppose the inflation rate after the loan is made (i.e. after the bond is purchased) is actually 1.00% per annum. It follows that the actual real rate of interest is and, ceteris paribus, are (is) better off than anticipated as a result of the difference between the anticipated and the actual rate of inflation.
