Comparative Analysis — BTN 10-2
1. Polaris’s current year debt-to-equity ratio = $ 727,968 / $ 500,056 = 1.46
2. For both years, Polaris’s debt-to-equity ratio is above that of the
industry average of 0.64. This implies that its debt levels are more risky
Ethics Challenge — BTN 10-3
1. The ethics of the Traverse County officials are questionable. The
financial impact of the leasing arrangement is the same as bond
financing in that the county has a debt obligation requiring the
repayment of principal and interest over time. Taxes may need to be
2. Because the lease requires payments of a non-binding nature, investors
who purchased the tax-exempt securities from the bank are holding an

MEMORANDUM
TO:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
The body of the memorandum should make the following points:
The associate is confused about the concept of a bond premium. Bonds
that sell at a premium provide the issuing company more cash than they
are required to pay the bondholders at their maturity date. When a bond is
issued at a premium, the face amount is less than the amount the associate
will invest to acquire the bond. As a result, the investment will yield the
investor (and cost the issuing corporation) less than the contract rate of
interest. This means that selling/buying at a premium incurs/yields an
effective rate of interest equivalent to the market rate for the risk assessed
for that bond at the time of issuance. In addition, this market rate of
interest is lower than the contract rate of interest for premium bonds.
The bottom line is that the market prices the bonds according to their
perceived risks and returns. What your associate needs to focus on is the
level of risk she is willing to accept and then invest accordingly.
A cordial closing that indicates willingness to discuss the issue further
would be appropriate.

The table below reveals how the five alternative interest-bearing notes

return on equity (net income/equity):
Alternative Notes for Expansion
Current 10% Note 15% Note 16% Note 17% Note 20% Note
Equity .................... $250,000 $250,000 $250,000 $250,000 $250,000 $250,000
Return on equity ... 12% 14.4% 12.4% 12% 11.6% 10.4%
Part 2
The analysis in Part 1 illustrates the general rule (called “financial
leverage” or “trading on the equity”): When a company earns a higher
return with borrowed funds than it is paying in interest, it increases its
return on equity. In the case of this company, it is predicting a return of
16% on its investment, computed as its expected $16,000 additional annual
