16-16. Solution:
Mr. Robinson – Mrs. Pinson
a. Present value of interest payments
PVA = A × PVIFA (n = 10*, i = 5.00%) Appendix D
Present value of principal payment at maturity
PV = FV × PVIF (n = 10*, i = 5.00%)
PV = $1,000 × .614 = $614.00 Appendix B
Total present value
b. Purchase price $1,000.00
Current value 961.49
c. Maturity value $1,000.00
d. The percentage gain is larger than the percentage loss because

17. Advanced refunding decision (LO16-3) The Bowman Corporation has a $18 million
bond obligation outstanding, which it is considering refunding. Though the bonds were
initially issued at 10 percent, the interest rates on similar issues have declined to 8.5
percent. The bonds were originally issued for 20 years and have 10 years remaining. The
new issue would be for 10 years. There is a 9 percent call premium on the old issue. The
underwriting cost on the new $18,000,000 issue is $530,000, and the underwriting cost on
the old issue was $380,000. The company is in a 35 percent tax bracket, and it will use an 8
percent discount rate (rounded aftertax cost of debt) to analyze the refunding decision.
a. Calculate the present value of total outflows.
b. Calculate the present value of total inflows.
c. Calculate the net present value.
d. Should the old issue be refunded with new debt?

Bowman Corporation
Outflows
1. Payment of call premium
2. Underwriting cost on new issue
Amortization of costs ($530,000/10) (.35)
$53,000 × (.35) = $18,550 tax savings per year

18. Refunding decision (LO16-3) The Robinson Corporation has $43 million of bonds
outstanding that were issued at a coupon rate of 11¾ percent seven years ago. Interest rates
have fallen to 10¾ percent. Mr. Brooks, the vice president of finance, does not expect rates
to fall any further. The bonds have 17 years left to maturity, and Mr. Brooks would like to
refund the bonds with a new issue of equal amount also having 17 years to maturity. The
Robinson Corporation has a tax rate of 30 percent. The underwriting cost on the old issue
was 2.4 percent of the total bond value. The underwriting cost on the new issue will be 1.7
percent of the total bond value. The original bond indenture contained a five-year
protection against a call, with a 9 percent call premium starting in the sixth year and
scheduled to decline by one-half percent each year thereafter. (Consider the bond to be
seven years old for purposes of computing the premium.) Assume the discount rate is equal
to the aftertax cost of new debt rounded up to the nearest whole number.
a. Compute the discount rate.
b. Calculate the present value of total outflows.
c. Calculate the present value of total inflows.

Outflows
1. Payment on call provision (7th year = 8.5% call premium)
2. Underwriting cost on new issue
Actual expenditure 1.7% × $43,000,000 = $731,000
Amortization of costs ($731,000/17) = $ 43,000
Tax savings per year = $43,000 (.30) = $ 12,900

19. Call premium (LO16-3) The Sunbelt Corporation has $40 million of bonds outstanding
that were issued at a coupon rate of 12⅞ percent seven years ago. Interest rates have fallen
to 12 percent. Mr. Heath, the vice president of finance, does not expect rates to fall any
further. The bonds have 18 years left to maturity, and Mr. Heath would like to refund the
bonds with a new issue of equal amount also having 18 years to maturity. The Sunbelt
Corporation has a tax rate of 36 percent. The underwriting cost on the old issue was 2.5
percent of the total bond value. The underwriting cost on the new issue will be 1.8 percent
