a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The straight bond value of the bond.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Par value of the bond is given as $1,000 and it is given that the bonds can be converted into 40 shares of common stock. The annual coupon rate is 11% and the interest rate is 13%. Maturity year is 25 years.

Formula to determine the straight bond value of the bond:

B0=Ird×(11(1+rd)n)+M×1(1+rd)n

Here,

B0 refers to the straight bond value

I refers to the discount value

rd refers to the interest rate

M refers to par value

n refers to maturity year

Determine the straight bond value of the bond:

B0=Ird×(11(1+rd)n)+M×1(1+rd)n=(0.11×1000)0.13×(11(1+0.13)25)+1,000×1(1+0.13)25=1100.13×(1121.2305)+1,000×121.2305

=(846.1538×0.952898)+(1,000×0.047102)=806.298+47.102=853.4

Hence, the straight bond value is $853.4.

Given information:

Par value of the bond is given as $1,000 and it is given that the bonds can be converted into 40 shares of common stock. The annual coupon rate is 11% and the interest rate is 13%. Maturity year is 25 years. The market price of the stocks are given as $20, $25, $28, $35, and $50.

Determine the selling price of the bond for each stock price given in part (c):

$2040$800
$2540$1,000
$2840$1,120
$3540$1,400
$5040$2,000

For each stock price, the bond should be sold at the conversion value. However, it should not be sold less than the straight value of the bond $853.4 (Calculation in Part (a)). Hence, for stock price $20, the bond should be sold at the price of $853.4. For stock price $25, $28, $35, and $50, the bond should be sold at the prices of $1,000, $1,120, $1,400, and $2,000 respectively.
