Thompson Enterprises has $5,000,000 of bonds outstanding. Each bond has a maturity value of $1,000, an annual coupon of 12%, and 15 years left to maturity. The bonds can be called at any time with a premium of $50 per bond. If the bonds are called, the company must pay flotation costs of $10 per new refunding bond. Ignore tax considerations and assume that the firm’s tax rate is zero.

The company’s decision of whether to call the bonds depends critically on the current interest rate on newly issued bonds. What is the break-even interest rate, the rate below which it would be profitable to call in the bonds?
