G&P is planning to construct a $250 million manufacturing and processing plant for the national production of its patented calorie-free chips. G&P’s Marketing Research Division has estimates that G&P will gain a significant market share of the U.S. snack-food market and should maintain that share for a period of at least 10 years—a period extending beyond the expiration of its patent. Suppose you work for a large investment-banking firm that advises G&P on its debt issues and who would like to eventually bid on underwriting the issue. To help you in providing advice on the debt issue, identify the pertinent features of the debt issue that need to be considered, the alternatives, and factors that need to be considered in structuring the bond issue.
