Question

Olympic Sports has two issues of debt outstanding. One is a 5% coupon bond with a face value of $33 million, a maturity of 10 years, and a yield to maturity of 6%. The coupons are paid annually. The other bond issue has a maturity of 15 years, with coupons also paid annually, and a coupon rate of 6%. The face value of the issue is $38 million, and the issue sells for 90% of par value. The firm's tax rate is 30%.

a. What is the before-tax cost of debt for Olympic? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

b. What is Olympic's after-tax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

a)

Bond 1:

Face value = $33,000,000

Coupon payment = 0.05 * 33,000,000 = 1,650,000

Price of bond = Coupon * [ 1 - 1 / ( 1 + r)n] / r + Fv / ( 1 + r)n

Price of bond = 1,650,000 * [ 1 - 1 / ( 1 + 0.06)10] / 0.06 + 33,000,000 / ( 1 + 0.06)10

Price of bond = 1,650,000 * 7.360087 + 18,427,027.64

Price of bond = $30,571,171.196

Bond 2:

Price = 0.9 * 38,000,000 = 34,200,000

Coupon = 0.06 * 38,000,000 = 2,280,000

Before tax cost of debt of bond using a financial calculator = 7.1053%

Keys to use in a financial calculator: PV -34,200,000, FV 38,000,000, N 15, PMT 2,280,000, CPT I/Y

Total market value = 34,200,000 + 30,571,171.196 = 64,771,171.19

Before tax cost of debt for olympic = (30,571,171.196 / 64,771,171.19)* 0.06 + ( 34,200,000 / 64,771,171.19) * 0.071053

Before tax cost of debt for olympic = 0.028319 + 0.037517

Before tax cost of debt for olympic = 0.0658 or 6.58%

b)

After tax cost of debt = 0.0658 ( 1 - 0.3)

After tax cost of debt = 0.0461 or 4.61%
