Multiple Choice

Exhibit 21.2
Use the Information Below for the Following Problem(S)
Assume you are the Treasurer for the Johnson Pharmaceutical Company and in late July 2004, the company is considering the sale of $500 million in 20-year debentures that will most likely be rated the same as the firm's other debt issues. The firm would like to proceed at the current rate of 8.5%, but you know that it will probably take until November to bring the issue to market. Therefore, you suggest that the firm hedge the pending issue using Treasury bond futures contracts which each represent $100,000.
$$\begin{array} { l c c } & \text { Casel } & \text { Case2 } \\ \text { Current Value - July 2004 } & 8.5 \% & 8.5 \% \\\text { Bond Rate } & 87.75 & 87.75 \\\text { Dec. 2004 Treasury Bonds } & & \\\text { Estimated Values - Nov. 2004 } & 9.5 \% & 7.5 \% \\\text { Bond Rate } & 85.60 & 91.65 \\\text { Dec. 2004 Trea5ury Bonds } &\end{array}$$
