  1. Learning Objectives • Identify and describe the key features of long-term debt. (LO1) • Differentiate bond yields and prices as influenced by how corporations and governments are rated by bond rating services. (LO2) • Analyze the decision of whether or not to call in and reissue debt (refund the obligation) when interest rates have declined. (LO3)

  2. LO3 The Refunding Decision • When market interest rates decline, selling new low coupon rate bonds to buy back the existing high coupon rate bonds is called a refundingoperation. • To refund a bond, the bond indenture agreement should include a call provision. • The refunding decision is analyzed as a capital budgeting problem. • The goal is to see whether savings in interest costs exceed financing costs related to redeeming and reissuing bonds.

Net cost of borrowing expenses on new issue (181,558) 3. Duplicate interest during overlap period . . .
