Surya Industries Ltd. has raised funds through issue of 10,000 debentu...
Solution:
Given data:
Number of debentures issued = 10,000
Face value of debenture = Rs. 150
Discount on debenture = Rs. 10
Maturity period = 10 years
Coupon rate = 16%
Flotation cost = Rs. 5 per debenture
Redemption premium = 10%
Corporate tax rate = 40%
Calculation of Cost of Debentures:
1. Calculation of Net Proceeds:
Face value of debenture = Rs. 150
Less: Discount on debenture = Rs. 10
Net proceeds from debenture = Rs. 140
2. Calculation of Flotation Cost:
Flotation cost = Rs. 5 per debenture
Total flotation cost = 5 x 10,000 = Rs. 50,000
3. Calculation of Redemption Value:
Face value of debenture = Rs. 150
Redemption premium = 10%
Redemption value = 150 + (10% of 150) = Rs. 165
4. Calculation of Interest Payments:
Coupon rate = 16%
Annual interest payment = 16% of Rs. 150 = Rs. 24
Total interest payment over 10 years = 24 x 10 = Rs. 240
5. Calculation of Tax Shield:
Corporate tax rate = 40%
Tax shield on interest payment = 40% of Rs. 24 = Rs. 9.6
Tax shield on flotation cost = 40% of Rs. 5 = Rs. 2
6. Calculation of Cost of Debentures:
Total cost of debentures = (Net proceeds + Flotation cost - Tax shield) / (Redemption value + Face value) / 2 x 100
= (1,40,000 + 50,000 - 11,600) / (165 + 150) / 2 x 100
= 1,78,400 / 315 x 100
= 56.57%
Therefore, the cost of debentures is 56.57%.
Conclusion:
Surya Industries Ltd. has issued 10,000 debentures of Rs. 150 each at a discount of Rs. 10 per debenture with a maturity period of 10 years and a coupon rate of 16%. The flotation cost is Rs. 5 per debenture and the debentures are redeemable with a 10% premium. The corporate tax rate is 40%. After calculating all the relevant factors, the cost of debentures is found to be 56.57%.
