⾦融学原理（英⽂）第⼆单元课后答案CHAPTER 2ANSWERS2-1 a. 0 Bonds and term loans are equivalent debt instruments and should have about the same interest rate.b. + Debentures are riskier than mortgage bonds and, hence, wouldrequire a higher interest rate.c. - This would allow bondholders to reap the benefits of a stock priceincrease, so they would accept a lower interest rate.d. (1) + Because the debentures will be subordinated to its bank debt,the debentures will have a higher interest rate.(2) - Because the debentures will be subordinated to the bank debt,the bank debt will have a lower interest rate.(3) 0 The net effect of (1) and (2) is indeterminant.e. + Because income bonds are riskier, they would carry a higher rateof interest.f. (1) - The more of the property that is mortgaged the weaker the claimof the debenture holders. Thus, going from $75 million to $50million of first mortgage debt will strengthen the debenturesand lower their interest rate.(2) - The property will have a smaller mortgage; hence, eachindividual first mortgage bond will be better secured, lessrisky, and have a lower interest rate.(3) 0 Debentures will cost less, as will mortgage bonds, but theaverage cost probably will be about the same--at least, itis not obvious that the cost will be higher or lower. Thisoccurs because the rate on the mortgage bonds is lower thanthat on debentures, but the weights are shifting toward theriskier, higher rate debentures.g. + A call provision increases the risk to the bondholders, so ahigher rate would be required.h. - The sinking fund calls for repayment over the life of the bond.This lowers somewhat the risk of the issue, hence leads to lowerrates.i. + This would raise the interest rate because a lower rating impliesgreater risk.2-2 Safety Rank⽂档收集⾃⽹络，仅⽤于个⼈学习a.

Term loan 52-3 From the corporation's viewpoint, one important factor in establishinga sinking fund is that its own bonds generally have a higher yield thando government bonds; hence, the company saves more interest by retiring its own bonds than it could earn by buying government bonds. This factor causes firms to favor the second procedure. Investors also would prefer the annual retirement procedure if they thought that interest rates were more likely to rise than to fall, but they would prefer the government bond purchases program if they thought rates were likely to fall. Inaddition, bondholders recognize that, under the government bond purchase scheme, each bondholder would be entitled to a given amount of cash from the liquidation of the sinking fund if the firm should go into default, whereas under the annual retirement plan, some of the holders would receivea cash benefit while others would benefit only indirectly from the factthat there would be fewer bonds outstanding.On balance, investors seem to have little reason for choosing one method over the other, while the annual retirement method is clearly more beneficial to the firm. The consequence has been a pronounced trend toward annual retirement and away from the accumulation scheme.2-4 ($ million)Common stock (42 million shares outstandingAt $1 par) = $40 + $2 $ 42 Additional paid-in capital = $120 + $48 168Retained earnings 170Total common stockholders' equity $380⽂档收集⾃⽹络，Total value of the issue = 2 million shares ? $25 = $50 million Added to Common stock account = 2 million shares ? $1 par = $2 millionAdded to Additional paid-in capital account = $50 million - $2 million= $48 million2-5 a. The average investor in a listed firm is not really interested in maintaining his or her proportionate share of ownership and control.An investor could increase ownership by simply buying more stock onthe open market. Consequently, most investors are not concerned withwhether new shares are sold directly (at about market prices) orthrough rights offerings. However, if a rights offering is being usedto effect a stock split, or if it is being used to reduce theunderwriting cost of an issue (by substantial underpricing), thepreemptive right might well be beneficial to the firm and itsstockholders.b. Clearly, the preemptive right is important to the stockholders ofclosely-held firms whose owners are interested in maintaining theirrelative control positions.2-6 Preferred stock can be classified only when the one doing the classifica-tion is considered. From the standpoint of the firm, preferred stock is like equity in that it cannot force the firm into bankruptcy, but it is like debt in that it causes fluctuations in earnings available to the common stockholders. Consequently, if the firm is concerned primarily with survival, it probably would classify preferred stock as equity. However, if there is essentially no danger of bankruptcy, management would view preferred stock as simply another fixed charge security and treat it internally as debt. Equity investors would have a similar viewpoint, and in general they should treat preferred stock in much the same manner as debt. For creditors, the position is reversed. They take preference over preferred stockholders, and the preferred issues act as a cushion. Conse-quently, a bond analyst probably would want to treat preferred as equity.Obviously, in all these applications, there would have to be some qualifi-cations; in a strict sense, preferred stock is neither debt nor equity, but a hybrid.2-7 When the price of its stock is temporarily depressed and a firm wishes to raise funds via an equity issue, the company’s investment banker probably will recommend convertible debt be issued. The firm can use convertible bonds if it is believed that the price of the stock will rise sufficiently in the future to make conversion attractive. Then, if conversion takes place when the stock price is higher, the firm will have essentially issued its stock at a price higher than existed when the convertible bond was issued.2-8 The convertible bond has an expected return that consists of an interest yield (9 percent) plus an expected capital gain. We know the expectedcapital gain must be at least 3 percent, because the total expected returnon the convertible must be at least equal to that on the nonconvertiblebond, 12 percent. In all likelihood, the expected return on the conver-tible would be higher than that on the straight bond, because a capitalgains yield is riskier than an interest yield. The convertible would,therefore, probably be regarded as being riskier than the straight bond.However, the convertible, with its interest yield, probably would beregarded as being less risky than common stock.────────────────────────────────────────────────────────SOLUTIONS2-1 a. Most firms have a continuing need for long-term debt to finance operations (at least as long as they are still in business). It would make sense fora firm to issue bonds like the Canadian bonds. If you think about it, themost significant difference between a 30—year bond and a perpetual bondthat is callable is that there is a refinancing requirement for the regularbond at the end of 30 years. This refinancing requirement probably willchange the cost of the bond, because refinancing takes place at existingThe default risk will be negligible for each bond. The interest rate risk, however, will be greatest for the bond with the longest term to maturity.As a result, the perpetual bonds’ interest rate risk will be greaterthan for the 5-year bond (which will have the lowest interest rate risk)and the 50-year bond. Because the Canadian bond will be called onlyif interest rates decline, it is considered the riskiest, and thus willhave the highest expected interest rate. The order of the expectedinterest rate from lowest to highest would be:5-year bond50-year bondregular perpetual bondCanadian perpetual bondProbably not. If rates had dropped so that bonds with a coupon rate equal to 3 percent could besold, the Canadian government probably would have issued the 3-percent bonds to replace themore expensive bonds.If the information bondholders used to reach their conclusion that the bonds would be called wasunfounded, then there should be no reason to expect the Canadian government to foot the bill forinvestors’mistakes. At the same time, some might argue that the Canadian government has amoral obligation to ensure that any false information that it knows about is not passed on toinvestors. If the Canadian government originally sold the bonds to na?ve investors and hadsomehow led them to think that the bonds would be called, the fairness might indicate thatretirement is appropriate. But, if you think about it, the original investors probably sold the bondsmany years ago, so there no longer would be such an obligation to them. Educated investors shouldknow that the government would not call the bonds when the interest rates were so high--in effect,the government would be wasting constituents’ money.2-2 a. Number of zeros = Amount needed/Price per bond= $4,500,000/$567.447,931 bonds.b. In five years, Filkins will have to repay $4.5 million when the bondmatures. But, because the debt is a zero-coupon bond, there will nointerest payments in the meantime. Thus, the annual debt service costsare $0.2-3 a.

Therefore, Meyer ’s earnings per share, EPS, is Haugen issued stock and its shares outstanding increased to 24,000. Therefore, Haugen ’s earnings per share, EPS, is If we use the EPS to evaluate both companies, we would conclude Meyer ’s decision to issue debt was better than Haugen ’s decision to issue stock. We will discuss this concept further in later chapters in the book.2-4 a.The conversion price simply is the face (par) value of the bond divided by the conversion ratio--the conversion price for this issue is $1,000/25 = $40. Therefore, it would be beneficial for investors to convert their bonds into common stock when the price of the stock is greater than $40 per share.b.The conversion feature would add some flexibility to the bonds as an investment. Investors might find it attractive to buy the bonds because they can later decide whether they prefer to remain bondholders or to convert and become stockholders.2-5 a.Cox Computer Company Balance Sheet: Alternative 1:Short-term debt $ 25,000Long-term debt 25,000Common stock, par $1 75,000*Paid-in capital 225,000* Retained earnings 25,000 Total liabilities Total assets $375,000 and equity $375,000⽂档收集⾃⽹*At $10 per share, $250,000/$10 = 25,000 shares would have to be soldto raise the $250,000.

In otherwords, if Fibertech decides to pay the bill today, it needs$4,215,000 to purchase 7,500,000 deutschemarks. However, ifFibertech waits to pay the bill when it is due in 90 days, theexchange rate might be different and thus the company mighthave to pay more than $4,215,000 to purchase the 7,500,000deutschemarks (it also might be able to pay less). The primaryadvantage to waiting to pay the bill is that Fibertech can usethe funds for other purposes. In addition, it can avoid thehigh cost of borrowing funds to pay the bill today.b. Cost to Fibertech = 7,500,000 ?$0.567 = $4,252,500 in 90 dayswhen the bill is due.c. At $0.60 per mark, the cost to purchase the neededdeutschemarks would be:7,500,000 ? $0.60 = $4,500,000At $0.54 per mark, the cost to purchase the neededdeutschemarks would be:7,500,000 ? $0.54 = $4,050,000d. The primary benefit Fibertech would receive by entering afutures contract is that it would be able to “lock in” todaythe price of the deutschemarks needed in 90 days. For example,if the futures contract in part (b) was entered, then Fibertechknow it needs $4,252,500 in 90 days to pay the debt it owesthe German manufacturer, regardless of what the actualexchange rate is at that time--the futures contract has “lockedin” the price today.2-9 The solution is given in the Instructor’s Manual, Solutions to Integrative Problems.版权申明本⽂部分内容，包括⽂字、图⽚、以及设计等在⽹上搜集整理。
