1. Suppose your company needs to raise $28 million and you want to issue 20-year bonds for this purpose. Assume the required return on your bond issue will be 8 percent, and you're evaluating two issue alternatives: an 8 percent annual coupon and a zero coupon bond. Your company's tax rate is 25 percent. In 20 years, what will your company's repayment be if you issue the coupon bonds? What if you issue the zeros? (Assume annual compounding on the zero coupon bond.)

$28.00 million; $122.12 million

$28.00 million; $130.51 million

$30.00 million; $122.12 million

$30.24 million; $130.51 million

$30.24 million; $122.12 million

A zero coupon bond with a face value of $1,000 is issued with an initial price of $450.50. The bond matures in 17 years. What is the implicit interest, in dollars, for the first year of the bond's life? Use semiannual compounding.
