Explain how the zero-coupon rate bond provides return to the investor. What are the advantages to the corporation? (LO16-2)

Question: Barton Simpson, the chief financial officer of Broadband Inc. could hardly believe the change in interest rates that had taken place over the last few months. The interest rate on A2 rated bonds was now 6 percent. The $30 million, 15-year bond issue that his firm has outstanding was initially issued at 9 percent five years ago. Because interest rates had gone down so much, he was considering refunding the bond issue. The old issue had a call premium of 8 percent. The underwriting cost on the old issue had been 3 percent of par, and on the new issue it would be 5 percent of par. The tax rate would be 30 percent and a 4 percent discount rate would be applied for the refunding decision. The new bond would have a 10-year life. Before Barton used the 8 percent call provision to reacquire the old bonds, he wanted to make sure he could not buy them back cheaper in the open market.

d. In terms of the refunding decision, how should Barton be influenced if he thinks interest rates might go down even more?

The investment banking firm of Einstein & Co. will use a dividend valuation model to appraise the shares of the Modern Physics Corporation. Dividends (D1) at the end of the current year will be \(1.64. The growth rate (g) is 8 percent and the discount rate (Ke) is 13 percent.

a. What should be the price of the stock to the public?

b. If there is a 7 percent total underwriting spread on the stock, how much will the issuing corporation receive?

c. If the issuing corporation requires a net price of \)31.30 (proceeds to the corporation) and there is a 7 percent underwriting spread, what should be the price of the stock to the public? (Round to two places to the right of the decimal point.)
