Filer Manufacturing has 6 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $89, and the book value per share is $8. Filer Manufacturing also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $85 million, has a 6 percent coupon, and sells for 96 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $60 million, has a 7 percent coupon, and sells for 109 percent of par. The first issue matures in 21 years, the second in 9 years.
