(Cash dividends have not been paid, nor is the payment of any contemplated.) 2. Issue 13%, 15-year bonds at face value for $2,812,500. It is estimated that the company will earn $833,000 before interest and taxes as a result of this purchase. The company has an estimated tax rate of 30% and has 93,600 shares of common stock outstanding prior to the new financing.
