Question: The Hudson Corporation has a $15 million bond obligation outstanding which it is considering refunding. Though the bonds were initially issued at 9 percent, the interest rates on similar issues have declined to 7.2 percent. The bonds were originally issued for 15 years and have 10 years remaining. The new issue would be for 10 years. There is a 9 percent call premium on the old issue. The underwriting cost on the new $15,000,000 issue is $200,000, and the underwriting cost on the old issue was $450,000. The company is in a 30 percent tax bracket, and it will use a 5 percent discount rate (rounded aftertax cost of debt) to analyze the refunding decision. Should the old issue be refunded with new debt?
