b) The company is considering replacing this bond issue to take advantage of a decrease in interest rates.The company has the ability to 'call' each bond for a 10% premium over face value, i.e., each $1000 bond can be repurchased by the company for $1100.If a new 12 year bond issue can be made (at par) by the company at the same yield-to-maturity of 7.65%, should the company replace the bond?Show your work.
