The Landers Corporation needs to raise $2.00 million of debt on a 10-year issue.

Question

The Landers Corporation needs to raise $2.00 million of debt on a 10-year issue. If it places the bonds privately, the interest rate will be 14 percent. Forty five thousand dollars in out-of-pocket costs will be incurred. For a public issue, the interest rate will be 12 percent, and the underwriting spread will be 2 percent. There will be $150,000 in out-of-pocket costs. Assume interest on the debt is paid semiannually, and the debt will be outstanding for the full 10-year period, at which time it will be repaid. Use Appendix B and Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.

For each plan, compare the net amount of funds initially available—inflow—to the present value of future payments of interest and principal to determine net present value. Assume the stated discount rate is 16 percent annually. Use 8.00 percent semiannually throughout the analysis. (Disregard taxes.) (Assume the $2.00 million needed includes the underwriting costs. Input your present value of future payments answers as negative values. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

Private Issue Net amount of funds that will be available = 2000000-45000= 1955000 PV of Future payments = PV@ of Future interest payments +PV of Principal repayment ((PMT*((1-(1+r)^-n)/r))+FV/(1+r)^n Semi-annual PMT= 2000000*14%/2= 140000 ;Semi annual disc.rate= 8%; n=10*2=20 yrs. ((140000*((1-(1+0.08)^-20)/0.08))+2000000/(1+0.08)^20 1803637 Public Issue Net amount of funds that will be available = 2000000-(2%*2000000)-150000= 1810000 PV of Future payments = PV@ of Future interest payments +PV of Principal repayment ((PMT*((1-(1+r)^-n)/r))+FV/(1+r)^n Semi-annual PMT= 2000000*12%/2= 120000 ;Semi annual disc.rate= 8%; n=10*2=20 yrs. ((120000*((1-(1+0.08)^-20)/0.08))+2000000/(1+0.08)^20 1607274 A. Private Placement Public Placement Net Amount to Landers 1955000 1810000 PV of Future Payments 1803637 1607274 Net Present Value 151363 202726 B.Public placement offers higher NPV
