MLC Audio has decided to issue 3-year bonds denominated in 10 million Singapore dollars. The bonds have a coupon rate of 10%. The Singapore dollar is expected to appreciate from its current level of $.82 to $.80, $.79, and $.78 in years 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Calculate the financing cost (in percent) of these bonds. Show how you derive the answer.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THE FINANCING COST IS IN PERCENT
coupon in SGD = 1 million
Price of bond = 10*0.82 = 8.2 USD
Coupon in year 1 = 0.80 USD
coupon in Year 2 - 0.79
coupon + face value in year 3 = (1 + 10)*0.78 = 8.58
Cash flows | Year |
(8.20) | 0 |
0.80 | 1 |
0.79 | 2 |
8.58 | 3 |
Use IRR function in Excel
financing cost = 8.14%
