Bond Terminology (Review)
Par Value: principal or face value (usually $1,000)
Coupon Rate:actual or stated interest rate
Maturity Date:date when repayment of principal is due
More Bond Terminology (new)
Indenture:legal document detailing the corporation’s obligations
Secured Debt:where specific assets are pledged to bondholders in
the event of defaultDebenture:
a L/T unsecured corporate bondSubordinated Debenture:

Priority of claims
Methods of Repayment
Besides paying the principal at maturity, there are other methods:
Conversion:bond can be converted into shares of common stock at the option of the bondholder
Call Feature:corporation can redeem bonds early by paying a premium over par value
3 Types of Bond Yields
Nominal Yield (or Coupon Rate):
– (stated interest rate / par value)Current Yield:
– yield in terms of the current price of the bond (current interest / current price)
Yield-to-Maturity (YTM):
– yield received if bond is held until maturity
Other Forms of Bond FinancingZero-Coupon Bond:
– does not pay interest– is sold at a deep discount from face value
Floating Rate Bond:
– interest rate paid on the bond changes with market conditions
– popular in European capital markets
Advantages and Disadvantagesof Debt
Advantages of Debt:– interest payments are tax deductible to a firm– obligation is known.– wise use of debt may lower a firm’s weighted
average cost of capital (WACC)– during inflation, debt is repaid with “cheaper
dollars” Disadvantages of Debt:
– interest and principal must always be met when due, regardless of a firm’s financial position
– poor use of debt may lower a firm’s value (stock price)
– may place burdensome restrictions on the firm
Advantages of Leasing- May be easier to get lease approval
- Less related restrictions
- No down payment required
- Less exposure to asset value changes
Leasing- SFAS 13 (1976) – requires certain leases to
be shown on financial statements.
- Capital Leases (also called financing leases) must be capitalized (present-valued) on the balance sheet.
- Two types of leases: - Capital lease- Operating Lease
Capital Lease- A lease is a capital lease when substantially
all the benefits and risks of ownership are transferred in the lease. A lease is a capital lease if any one of the following applies:
- Ownership is transferred- Bargain purchase is part of lease- Lease term is 75% or more of life of leased
asset- PV of lease payments is 90% or more of
leased asset’s value.
Accounting for a Capital Lease
- A capital lease is recorded on the Balance Sheet:- Liability under capital lease obligations- Asset under leased property under capital lease- Can change debt related ratios
- Recorded on Income Statement- Annual expense written off on income statement
and amortized to lower balance sheet accounts.
Operating Lease- If a lease is not a capital lease, then it is an
operating lease.
- Operating leases are NOT reported on the balance sheet
- Lease payments are an expensed item on the income statement.
The Refunding (refinancing) Decision
Outflow ConsiderationsPayment of call premium is tax deductible when incurredUnderwriting costs on new issue are amortized (written off
over the life of the new issue)
Inflow ConsiderationsInterest savings per year are calculated on an after tax basisUnamortized costs less PV of costs that would have been
written off in any case are tax write-offs today (i.e., provide tax savings)
Just like other capital budgeting problems, take NPV of inflows and outflows, and if NPV > 0, do it (Refund!).

Lease versus Buy Decision
- Compute after tax cost of leasing - Operating lease payments are tax deductible
- Compute after tax cost of buying- Consider tax shield from depreciation- Consider tax shields from interest payments
- Compute amortization schedule to get interest payments
- Compute present value of after tax costs of each alternative- all else equal, pick lower cost (lease or buy)
