Study Session 9-39-d
classify a debt security with equity features as a debt or equity security and demonstrate the effect of issuing debt with equity features on the financial statements and ratios
The portion of the proceeds attributable to the warrants would be classified as equity, thus the portion classified as a liability would be smaller (lower). The lower balance sheet value would lead to a lower interest expense when it is calculated. The interest expense is based on the liability at the beginning of the period, not the coupon payment.

Study Session 10-42-b
prepare a basic projection of a company’s future net income and cash flow
The cost of goods sold and operating expenses are relatively constant over the
two-year period and averages of them can reasonably be used to forecast 2008.
Interest expense is declining as a percent of sales, implying it is a fixed
cost. Conversion into dollars for each year shows what interest expense has been
(2007 = $80, 2006 = $80) and that would be a reasonable projected amount to use.
The restructuring charge should not be included as it is a non-recurring item.
The tax rate, 35%, is given.
