Dooley, Inc., has outstanding $100 million bonds that pay an annual coupon rate of interest of 11 percent. Par value of each bond is $1,000. The bonds are scheduled to mature in 10 years. Because of Dooley’s increased risk, investors now require a 13 percent rate of return on bonds of similar quality with 5 years remaining until maturity. The bonds are callable at 110 percent of par at the end of 5 years.
