a.
To determine:
Risk Free Bond:
It is a theoretical bond, which is free from the risk of repayment and that repays interest and principal completely at the time of maturity.
a.
Explanation of Solution
Given,
Face value of the bond is $40,000.
Risk free rate is 6%.
Maturity is 5 years.
Formula to calculate present value of a risk free bond is,

To determine: Change in the value of equity and debt after restructure.
(e)
Explanation of Solution
Calculated values,
Value of equity before restructure is $18,693.17.
Value of equity after restructure is $16,180.64.
Value of debt before restructure is $19,332.31.
Value of debt after restructure is $21,844.84.
Formula to calculate change in equity value is,
Substitute $18,693.17 for value of equity before restructure and 16,180.64 for value of equity after restructure.
Formula to calculate change in value of debt is,
Substitute $19,332.31 for value of debt before restructure and 21,844.84 for value of debt after restructure.
Thus, after the restructuring of assets the value of debt has increased by $2512.53 and the value of equity had decreased by the same amount and hence, the restructuring is favorable for bond holders than the equity shareholders.
