Ying Import has several bond issues outstanding, each making semiannual interest payments. The bonds are listed in the table below.

Explanation / Answer

Market value weight = market value / total market value * 100

YTM = [Annual Interest + (Par Value - Market value) / n] / Par Value + Market Value / 2

Bond 1 = 2024000 + (23000000 - 24219000)/ 4 / (23000000 + 24219000)/2 = 7.28%

Bond 2= 2795000 + (43000000 - 40893000)/ 4 / (43000000 + 40893000)/2 = 7.38%

Bond 3= 4080000 + (48000000 - 49968000)/ 4 / (48000000 + 49968000)/2 = 8.05%

Bond 4= 5670000 + (63000000 - 66780000)/ 4 / (63000000 + 66780000)/2 = 8.49%

Cost of debt = 8.8 * 13.32% + 6.5 * 22.49% + 8.5 * 27.48% + 9 * 36.72% = 8.27%
