In this assignment you will calculate 1) the total debt Dand 2) the weighted yield to maturity R_D for DOLLAR TREE COMPANY. To find D and R_D we must create a table in Excel. A sample table is shown below

Notice in the table that columns C, D, and F are calculated from the values you will enter in the other columns. This blue data is found on the FINRA website. Please see the REVISED FINRA CORPORATE BONDS TOOL STUDY GUIDE 2023-05-30.docx. Using this guide, enter the blue data to complete the calculations in the excel table. Note: If your corporation data has more than ten bonds, just choose any ten for your calculations in the Excel table. You will use your calculated D and R_D to complete the WACC calculation due next week.

Click on the Symbol of two of your bonds. In a separate word document answer the following questions (feel free to copy/paste these into your word document):

1. Bond Maturity:
2. 1. What maturity date is farthest into the future? Approximately how many years (or months) from now?
   2. What maturity date is the next one to expire? Approximately how many years (or months) from now?
   3. Refer to Figure 7.2 on page 206 in the text. Of the two bonds above, which bond has the most interest rate risk?
3. The Call Provision:
4. 1. Are either of the bonds Callable?
   2. Click on the ^ in the Callable row. For callable bonds, is it important to consider your yield-to-call? Why?
   3. Refer to "The Call Provision" on page 215-216 of the text. True or False: In a "make-whole" call provision, the call price is higher when interest rates are lower and vice versa.
