Question

III. Bond Issuance A. Assuming this company already has bonds outstanding, calculate the following: 1. The new value of the bond if overall rates in the market increased by 5% 2. The new value of the bond if overall rates in the market decreased by 5% 3. The value of the bond if overall rates in the market stayed exactly the same B. What effect would you expect each of the calculations you performed to have in terms of the company’s decision to raise capital in this manner? In other words, for each situation, would you consider bond valuation to be a viable option for increasing capital? Be sure to justify your reasoning. C. To what extent do you feel the company’s bond issuance policies support or hinder their strategies? For example, if the company is attempting to fund operating expenses, refinance old debt, or change its capital structure, are they issuing sufficient bonds to achieve these goals? Be sure to substantiate your claims

3. The value of the bond if overall rates in the market stayed exactly the same

- identical to CURRENT BOND VALUE from Financial Statements

Explanations:

Cash Dividend - distribution of the corporate income. They are not expenses and do not appear on Income Statement.

Note: Part of Statement of Cash Flows. Please be aware that corporation list 5 years worth of dividends, but only 3 years worth of dividend yields. (Hint: research F-1)

Dividend Yield - annual cash dividend per share of common stock divided by the market price of a share of the common stock. (Dividend yield = Annual Dividend/Current Stock Price)

Note: Current Stock Price is not part of the Financial Statements - calculated suing the formula for Dividend Yield

Stockholder's Equity = Assets - Liabilities. This represents the ownership of a corporations. Owners are called stockholder because they hold stocks or share of the company. The main goal of every corporate manager is to generate shareholder value.

Return on Equity - for this part we will modify and use return on investment instead.

Using the formula: Dividend (+1.75)/+[(new price-old price)/old price]

Note - for this part, you will need extra price from 2011

Bonds are a long-term debt for corporations. By buying a bond, the bond-owner lends money to the corporation. The borrower promises to pay specified interest rate during the loans lifetime and at the maturity, payback the entire principle. In case of bankruptcy, bondholders have priority over stockholders for any payment distributions.

Bonds = Debt...............Bondholders = Lenders
Stock=Equity................Stockholders = Owners

Calculation: Please note that for bond calculations, only one bond was used and we assume that February 1st, 2015 is the origination date. The value on financial statements will be considered PV (Present value). Maturity date would be also assumed for February 2036 and payment schedule would be adjusted to February 1 and August 1.

The following Senior-Note was used from page 44:
5.875% Senior Notes; due December 16, 2036; interest payable semi-annually on June 16 and December 16
PV (Present Value) = 2,963 million

Our scenario: 5.875% Senior Notes; due February 1, 2036; interest payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1
PV (Present Value) = 2,963 million

FV (Future Value Calculation) - using Excel Formula

Step 1) Select Formulas

Step 2) Click on Financial

Step 3) Select FV - you will see the formula below

Step 4) Enter the following:

Rate - enter as decimal, no % sign. Example: 4% as 0.04

Nper - number of period. Enter a whole number. Example 50

Pmt - payment. Our example does not assume regular payments disbursing principal

Pv - Present value. Enter as negative. Example $1,000 should be -1000

Type - leave blank
