Butte Trаvel hаs hаd several successful years in the airline business and had received recоgnitiоn fоr many years for flying higher, further and cheaper than the competition. In an effort to boost profitability and cash flows further, the new VP Finance is considering refunding some bonds that currently carry fairly high interest payments. Currently the company has a $10 million bond obligation outstanding. The bonds were issued at 12% and the interest rates on similar bonds have declined to 10%. The bonds have twelve years of their 20 year maturity remaining. Butte Travel will pay a call premium of 6% and will incur underwriting costs of $400,000 immediately whereas the underwriting cost on the old bond was $300,000. The company is in a 40% tax bracket. There will be a 30-day overlap period during which the money market rates would be 3%. Should the bond be refunded? Please clearly layout the framework and show ALL calculations.
