Convertible Bond Analysis
Fifteen years ago, Roop Industries sold $400 million of convertible bonds. The bonds had a 40-year maturity, a 5.75% coupon rate, and paid interest annually. They were sold at their $1,000 par value. The conversion price was set at $61.20, and the common stock price was $54 per share. The bonds were subordinated debentures and were given an A rating; straight nonconvertible debentures of the same quality yielded about 8.30% at the time Roop's bonds were issued.

Do you think it is likely that the bonds will be converted?
· · The bonds originally sold for $1,000. If interest rates on A-rated bonds had remained constant at 8.30% and if the stock price had fallen to $32.50, then what do you think would have happened to the price of the convertible bonds? (Assume no change in the standard deviation of stock returns.) Round your answers to the nearest cent. Enter all amounts as a positive number.

· Now suppose that the price of Roop's common stock had fallen from $54 on the day the bonds were issued to $32.50 at present, 15 years after the issue. Suppose also that the interest rate on similar straight debt had fallen from 8.30% to 5.75%. Under these conditions, what is the current price of the straight-bond portion of the convertible bond? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Enter all amounts as a positive number.

$ per share
a). Bond premium = (conversion price/share price) -1 = (61.20/54)-1 = 13.33%
b). Annual before-tax earnings = (coupon rate on straight bond - coupon rate on convertible bond)*Debt amount
= (8.30%-5.75%)*400 = 10.20 million per year
c). Price of convertible bond: FV = 1,000; N = 40; PMT (annual coupon) = 5.75%*1,000 = 57.5; rate = 8.30%, solve for PV.
Price = 705.43
Value per bond of the conversion feature = par value - price = 1,000 - 705.43 = 294.57
d). Value as a straight bond: FV = 1,000; N = 40-15 = 25; PMT = 57.5; rate = 8.90%, solve for PV. Price = 734.63
Current value if bond is converted:
Conversion ratio = par value of bond/conversion price = 1,000/61.20 = 16.34 shares
Current value = number of shares*current share price = 16.34*32.5 = 531.05
The bond is worth more than the converted price so the bond will not be converted.
e). The value of the straight bonds would have increased from $705.43 at the time of issue to $734.63, fifteen years later.
