11. Refunding analysis Aa Aa Consider yourself the CFO of ToughNut Corp. Management is considering whether the company should refund its $600,000, 12.50% coupon, 10-year bond issue that was sold at par 3 years ago. The flotation cost on this issue was $3,000 that has been amortizing on a straight-line basis over the 10-year original life of the issue. ToughNut Corp has a tax rate of 30%, and current short-term rates are 6% You have collected the following data about the existing bond and the potential new bond issue: Data Collected Capital Flotation cost Maturity Years since issue Coupon Call premium After-tax cost of new debt Existing Bond $600,000 $3,000 10 New Bond $600,000 $2,650 8 0 7.50% 12.50% 10.00% 5.25% The associate financial analyst on the finance team has done some preliminary refunding analysis and submitted the following calculations to you. Consider this as step 1 in the refunding analysis. Assume that the company pays no additional interest on the old issue and earns no interest on short-term investments. Check if the calculations that the financial analyst submitted are correct and match your analysis. Check each box that has a correct value. If a value is incorrect, do not check the corresponding box. Step 1: Determining the initial investment outlay Schedule of Cash Flows Before Tax After Tax Check if Correct Investment Outlay Call premium on the old bond Flotation cost on new issue Immediate tax savings on old flotation cost expense -$60,000 -$42,000 -$2,650$2,650 $630 -$44,020 2,100 Total after-tax investment Step 2: Calculating the annual flotation cost tax effects For tax purposes, the flotation cost must be amortized over the life of the new bond, which is 8 years. Thus, the after-tax saving every year for the next 8 years will be 99.38 1. 2. ToughNut Corp., however, will no longer receive a tax deduction on the flotation cost on the old issue and will thus lose an after-tax benefit of $90.00 3. The net amortization tax effect on the flotation cost is the difference between the old and the new issue, which is $9.38 per year for the next 8 years. If the company issues new bonds, the tax savings from amortizing the flotation costs will increase Step 3: Calculating the annual interest savings 1. The annual coupon payments on the old bonds were $75,000. Thus, the after-tax interest on the old issue is $52,500.00 2. The after-tax interest on the new bonds is $31,500.00 3. Thus, the net annual interest savings after tax will be $21,000.00. At the final stage of the refunding analysis, you need to calculate the net present values (NPVs) of the savings and costs and the NPV of the entire refunding operation Step 4: Calculating the NPV of the refunding Value Present value of amortized tax effects Present value of interest savings Net investment outlay $60.02 $134,366.31 $44,020 $90,406.33 NPV from refunding 11.
