Question:

Everyone is risk neutral and the risk free rate is 0%. Firm A needs to raise $2,000 by issuing a 1- year bond with face value $2,000 and coupon rate c in order to pursue either Safe Project S, or Risky Project R, which would each require an investment of $2,000 at t=0. S will produce $2,500 at t = 1. R will produce either X or 0 at t = 1 with probability 50% for each outcome. The company decides between Sand R after they get the money from bondholders. Bondholders are aware that equity holders will do what is optimal for equity holders.

1. For what value of X would the following be a valid equilibrium solution: the company issues debt with face value 2000 and coupon rate 0% and invests in S.

a) 2,800

b) 3,200

c) 3,500

d) 6,000

e) 7,000
