The Howland Carpet Company has grown rapidly during the past 5 years. Recently, its commercial bank urged the company to consider increasing its permanent financing. Its bank loan under a line of credit has risen to $250,000 carrying an 8% interest rate. Howland has been 30 to 60 days late in paying trade creditors. Discussions with an investment banker have resulted in the decision to raise $500,000 at this time. Investment bankers have assured the firm that the following alternatives are feasible (flotation costs will be ignored).
* Alternative 1: Sell common stock at $8
* Alternative 2: Sell convertible bonds at an 8% coupon, convertible into 100 shares of common stock for each $1,000 bond (i. e., the conversion price is $10 per share).
* Alternative 3: Sell debentures at an 8% coupon, each $1,000 bond carrying 100 warrants to buy common stock at $10.
John L. Howland, the president, owns 80% of the common stock and wishes to maintain control of the company. There are 100,000 shares outstanding. The following are extracts of Howland
