XYZ has the following debt due schedule
Time due Amount due Interest rate
1 year 10000 3%
3 year 25000 5%
6 years 31000 7%
a) calculate the weighted average maturity (time due) of XYZ's debt
b) calculate the weighted average interest rate of XYZ's debt
c) if the total (book) debt on the balance sheet of XYZ is 56000, and the current interest expense is 3500. what is the estimated market value of debt?
Select one:
a. Weighted average maturity = 4.11 years
Weighed average interest rate = 5.64%
Estimated market value of debt = $57,229.11
b. Weighted average maturity = 3.11 years
Weighed average interest rate = 2.64%
Estimated market value of debt = $45,229.11
c. Weighted average maturity = 8.11 years
Weighed average interest rate = 7.68%
Estimated market value of debt = $32,229.11
a. Weighted Average Maturity =
= 4.11 years.
b. Weighted average interest =
= 5.455%
c. The current market value of debt is calculated by using the following formula
C--Interest Expense
Kd is current cost of debt
t is weighted average maturity
D is the total debt
Putting values as kd= 5.455%, C=3500, t =4.11 years, D= 56000
We get = 57,229
Hence option A is correct one
