Assignment Help Microeconomics
Reference no: EM132346093

Assignment: S&S Air was founded 10 years ago. The company has manufactured and sold light airplanes over this period, and the company's products have received high reviews for safety and reliability. The company has a niche market in that it sells primarily to individuals who own and fly their own airplanes. The company has two models: The Birdie, which sells for $53,000, and the Eagle, which sells for $78,000. S&S Air is not publicly traded, but the company needs new funds for investment opportunities. Mark Sexton and Todd Story, the owners of S&S Air, have decided to expand their operations. They instructed their newly hired financial analyst, Chris Guthrie, to enlist an underwriter to help sell $20 million in new 10-year bonds to finance construction. Chris has entered into discussions with Renata Harper, an underwriter from the firm of Crowe & Mallard, about which bond features S&S Air should consider and what coupon rate the issue will likely have.

Although Chris is aware of the bond features, he is uncertain as to the costs and benefits of some features, so he isn't clear on how each feature would affect the coupon rate of the bond issue. You are Renata's assistant, and she has asked you to prepare a memo to Chris describing the effect of each of the following bond features on the coupon rate of the bond. She would also like you to list any advantages or disadvantages of each feature.

a. The security of the bond-that is, whether the bond has collateral.

b. The seniority of the bond.

c. The presence of a sinking fund.

d. A call provision with specified call dates and call prices.

e. A deferred call accompanying the preceding call provision.

f. A floating rate coupon.

• Case write-ups should be 1.5 - 3 pages in MS word format (minimum 500 words excluding the questions), double-spaced, and 12 font size in Times New Roman. After answering ALL 6 questions (a, b, c, d, e, f), you will be able to find the total number of words at the status bar at the bottom of the Word window - Exclude the questions! Including the questions will drive up your Turnitin similarity score significantly!

• APA citation for sources provided (With a minimum of 3 references, but no more than 10 references). The sources are of high quality (books, journal articles, reputable business magazines, professional association publications, government websites etc).
