c. If the price of the stock rises above the striking price, the risk is limited to the price of the put
option. However, there is a 100% loss on the put.

Financing L. Rashid Company’s Chemical Waste Disposal System
In this case, the student is asked to evaluate three long-term financing alternatives for the company’s proposed
waste disposal system: straight debt, debt with warrants, or a financial lease. After determining the cost of each
option on a present value basis, the student must choose the best alternative for L. Rashid Company.
a. 1. Straight debt value:
2. Implied price of all warrants $3,000,000 $2,897,437 $102,563
3. Implied price of each warrant

4. Theoretical value of warrant TVW (P0 E) N
b. The price is clearly too high because the lender is effectively paying $2.05 for a warrant that has an
estimated market value of $1.
c. Debt with warrants is the best option due to the high implied price, lower payments (10% interest rate,
