Yоu hаve just jоined the cоnvertible bond desk аt а large investment bank. One of your first assignments is to help evaluate the downside protection of a convertible issue. Your manager explains: “Remember, the minimum value of a convertible bond is always its straight bond value — what the bond would be worth if it had no conversion option. At issuance, this value equals par (because the coupon is set to place it at 100% of face value). But once time passes, the straight value will fluctuate with market yields. To check how much downside protection investors have, we need to calculate the value of the straight bond today using the arbitrage-free framework.” You are given the following details: The bond has a par value of $1,000 and pays a coupon of [coupon]%, paid semiannually. The bond matures in [maturity] years from today. The current yield curve is flat at [yield]%. Task Calculate the present value of all future coupon payments plus the principal, discounted at the flat yield curve rate. Report the straight bond value (per $1,000 par) as of today, rounded to two decimals.
