"1.(Total: 25 points) Environ Systems is a firm that specializes in cleaning
environmental damage (waste disposal) and specialty chemicals. As part of its
expansionary plans, it has made a large issuance of 10-year corporate bonds, with a
face value of $1000 each and an annual coupon rate of 12%.
(a)(10 points) Assuming a discount rate of 7%, calculate the value of the bond.
(b)(15 points) Environ got into deep financial troubles and defaulted on (ie: stopped
paying) its bonds in year 6. During that year, Environ negotiated with
bondholders on a debt restructuring deal which included extending the maturity
of the bond 2 extra years (ie: from 10 years previously to 12 years), a full relief
from coupon payments in years 7 and 8, a payment of coupons at a reduced rate
of 3% per annum from years 9 to year 12, and a repayment of 70% of the face
value in year 12. Under such conditions and assuming a discount rate of 7%,
what would the value of the bond be? What would the bondholders profit/loss
be relative to the face value of the bond?"
I understand how to get the answer to part a, but I am extremely stuck on what to do for part b
