Butte Travel will pay a call premium of 6% and will incur underwriting costs of $400,000 immediately whereas the underwriting cost on the old bond was $300,000. The company is in a 40% tax bracket. There will be a 30-day overlap period during which the money market rates would be 3%. Should the bond be refunded? Please clearly layout the framework and show ALL calculations.
