a-2.	What is the conversion price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
a-3.	What is the conversion premium? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
b-1.	What is the straight bond value? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
b-2.	What is the conversion value? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole dollar, e.g., 32.)
c.	What would the stock price have to be for the conversion value and the straight bond value to be equal? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
d.	What is the option value of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

     

Answer 1

conversion ratio = number of shares that can be exchanged = 24

Conversion price = Bond par value/conversion ratio

Conversion price = 1000/24

Conversion price = 41.67

Conversion premium = Bond price-conversion ratio* current share price

Conversion premium=990-24*40

Conversion premium = 30

K = Nx2

Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2

k=1

K =10x2

Bond Price =∑ [(6.9*1000/200)/(1 + 9/200)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 9/200)^10x2

k=1

Straight Bond Price = 863.42

Conversion value = Conversion ratio*current share price

Conversion value = 24*40

Conversion value = 960
