Assume a tax rate of 40%. Required: What is the effect on net income, other equity, and deferred taxes at the end of each year for the three securities? 2. Long-term Liabilities MITCO issued $40 million of bonds with an annual coupon rate of 5% many years ago at par. The bonds now have 20 years until scheduled maturity. Because market interest rates have risen to 9%, the market value of the bonds has dropped to 63% of par. MITCO has $5 million of other debt and $35 million of shareholders' equity in addition to the $40 million of long-term debt in its financial structure. The reported income of MITCO for the year is expected to be $10 million in the absence of any other actions. The CFO of MITCO proposes the company issue at par new 9% bonds to mature in 20 years and use the proceeds to retire the outstanding bond issue. Assume that such action is taken and that any gain on bond retirement is taxable immediately, at the rate of 40%. Required: a) Show the effects using the Balance Sheet Equation for the issue of new bonds and the retirement of the old bonds. Ignore income taxes related to the retirement of the bond when calculating the value of the new bonds. That is, the amount of new bonds issued should be equal to the market value of the bonds repurchased. b) What is the effect on income for the year? Give both dollar and percentage amounts. c) What is MITCO’s debt-equity ratio before and after the transaction? 3. Leases Excerpts from Duane Reade’s Notes to Financial Statements: 10.
