Problem Set #5 Jackson Corporation sources and distributes pharmaceutical products in the United States and internationally. Its pharmaceutical distribution segment distributes brandname and generic pharmaceuticals, overthecounter healthcare products, home healthcare supplies and equipment, outsourced compounded sterile preparations, and related services to various healthcare providers. The company wants to raise longterm debt of $10 million for research and development by issuing corporate bonds. The nancial manager of the company, Chris Doughman, MBA is working with First Investment Bank to issue the bonds. The investment bank is providing consulting and advisory services to Jackson Corporation. Chris must make presentations to the investment banking rm to enable it to get the information needed to prepare the bond indenture. Chris stated in the presentation that the bond would have 15 years to maturity, interest would be paid annually, and the bonds would have $1,000 par value. The coupon interest rate, according to Chris, would be determined using the following equation: rd: r' + IP + MRP + DRP + LP, where rd is quoted market interest rate, r* is real riskfree rate, IP is ination premium, MRP is maturity risk premium, DRP is default risk premium, and LP is liquidity premium. Chris has gathered the following data: Characteristic Bond Time to maturity 15 years Real risk-free rate 2.00% Ination premium 2.20% Maturity risk premium 2.50% Default risk premium 2.40% Liquidity premium 0.90% 1. Calculate the quoted market interest rate for the corporate bond using the equation. 2. Using the market interest rate calculated above, determine the coupon payment i.e., the dollar amount to be paid every year to bondholders. 3. First Investment Bank is using the answers presented in questions 1 and 2 to value the bond. Calculate the present value of the bond if the yield to maturity is 10%. 4. Suppose that three years later Jackson Corporation's bonds have 12 years remaining to maturity. Interest is paid annually, the bonds have $1,000 par value, and the coupon interest rate is 8%. The bonds have a yield to maturity of 9%. Calculate the current market price of the bond. 5. Another company, Charter Corporation has issued 2,500 debentures with a face value of $1,000. The bonds have 10 years to maturity. The bonds have a coupon interest rate of 8% that is paid semiannually. What dollar amount of interest per bond can an investor expect to receive every 6 months
