Assignment: Application To Call or Not To Call
Decisions involving capital expenditures often require managers to weigh the costs and benefits of different options related to the financing of a project. For instance deciding when to call a bond before maturity due to changing interest rates can lower the overall cost of a project significantly through refinancing. So it is important to be able to understand the real interest rate being paid out to your bondholders (yield) at any given time.
