Suppose your company needs to raise $35 million

and you want to issue 20-year bonds for this purpose. Assume the required

return on your bond issue will be 6.8 percent, and you’re evaluating two

issue alternatives: a 6.8 percent semiannual coupon bond and a zero coupon

bond. Your company’s tax rate is 35 percent.

a. How many of the coupon bonds would you need to issue to raise the

$35 million? How many of the zeroes would you need to issue?

b. In 20 years, what will your company’s repayment be if you issue the

coupon bonds? What if you issue the zeroes?

c. Based on your answers in parts (a) and (b), why would you ever want to

issue the zeroes? To answer, calculate the firm’s aftertax cash outflows

for the first year under the two different scenarios. Assume that the IRS

amortization rules apply for the zero coupon bonds.
