Ernie Griffin just parchased a five-year sero coupon corporate bond for $680.60 and plans to it until maturity. Assume Ernie has a marginal tax rate of 25%. a. Calculate Ernie's after-tax cash flows from the bond for the first two years b. Describe in words the difference in cash flows between owning Ernie's bond and a five-year U.S. savings bond for the same amount (Hint: See the Insights box on page 301 for this problem.) Pricing a "Likely to Be Called" Bond: Concept Connection Example 7-4 (page 302) Problems 17 through 19 refer to the bonds of The Apollo Corporation, all of which have a call jeature. The call feature allows Apollo to pay off bonds any time after the first 15 years, but requires that bondholders be compensated with an extra year's interest at the coupon rate if such a payoffis exercised. Apollo's Alpha bond was issued 10 years ago for 30 years with a face value of $1,000. Interest rates were very high at the time, and the bond's coupon rate is 20%. The interest rate is now 10%. a. At what price should an Alpha bond sell? b. At what price would it sell without the call feature? Apollo's Alpha-1 bond was issued at a time when interest rates were even higher. It has a coupon rate of22%, a $1,000 face value, an initial term of 30 years, and is now i3 years old. Calculate its price if interest rates are now i2%, compare it with the price that would exist if there were no call feature, and comment on the difference. 17. 18. Apollo's Beta bond has just reached the end of its period of call protection, has 10 years to go until maturity, and has a face value of $1,000. Its coupon rate is 16%, and the interest rate is currently 10%. Should Apollo refund this issue ifrefunding costs a total of 8% of the value of the debt refunded plus the call penalty? (Hint: See the refunding decision page 306.) 19. 20. Snyder Mfg issued a $1,000 face value 30-year bond five years ago with an 8% coupon.
