Question:
Q1. One year ago Lerner and Luckmann Co. issued 15-year, noncallable, 7.8% annual coupon bonds at their par value of $1,000. Today, the market interest rate on these bonds is 5.5%. What is the current price of the bonds, given that they now have 14 years to maturity?
Q2. CMS Corporation's balance sheet as of today is as follows:
Long-term debt (bonds, at par) | $10,000,000 |
Preferred stock | 2,000,000 |
Common stock ($10 par) | 10,000,000 |
Retained earnings | 4,000,000 |
Total debt and equity | $26,000,000 |
The bonds have a 6% coupon rate, payable semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. They mature exactly 10 years from today. The yield to maturity is 12%, so the bonds now sell below par. What is the current market value of the firm's debt?
