Choate International plans to issue $15 million in 10-year bonds. They believe they can afford to pay $1,150,000 in interest to bondholders each year. Which annual interest rate should they use for their bonds? The current market interest rate is 7.75% for similar bonds. A : 7.75% B : 8.1% C : 7.65% D : 6.5%

7.65% An annual interest rate of 7.65% would require Choate International to pay $1,147,500 in interest each year ($15 million * 0.0765 = $1,147,500). Both 7.75% and 8.1% would require them to pay more than $1,150,000 in interest, so those interest rates should not be used. An interest rate of 6.5% would allow them to pay less than their maximum interest amount, but the bonds would not be very competitive because the interest rate is below the market interest rate.

Q 10.39: Which of the following four companies will have the lowest carrying value on their bonds if they decide to redeem their bonds before the maturity date? Assume each company's bonds have a face value of $15 million and 10% of the premium or discount is unamortized at the time of redemption. A : Company 3 sold their bonds at 102 and redeemed them at 98. B : Company 1 sold their bonds at 94 and redeemed them at 106. C : Company 2 sold their bonds at 98 and redeemed them at 99. D : Company 4 sold their bonds at 103 and redeemed them at 104.

Company 1 sold their bonds at 94 and redeemed them at 106.

Therefore, companies 3 and 4 can be eliminated from consideration. Between companies 1 and 2, Company 1 has an unamortized amount of [$15 million - ($15 million 0.94)] 10% = $90,000 for a carrying value of $15 million - $90,000 = $14,910,000, and Company 2 has an unamortized amount of [$15 million - ($15 million 0.98)] 10% = $30,000 for a carrying value of $15 million - $30,000 = $14,970,000. Therefore, Company 1 has the lowest carrying value at the time of redemption.
