Part D

New Bond Issue

11,542

Solution 3 As seen the Pv of cash outflow from current 8% bond is same as in case of issue of 6% bond. Hence Lyons Document storage Corp should be indifferent under both decisions. As re-purchase of bond will lead to loss of $ 2.24 million in current year without any real net benefit, it is not worthwhile to re-purchase the bond. Further if only $10 million worth of bonds are issued, it would lead to negative cash flow of $ 1.54 million in current year. Based on above we recommend not to retire old bond.
