Yоu’re nоw аssisting оn the equity-linked desk аt your bаnk. Your manager wants you to estimate the current value of a convertible bond issued by a client company. She explains: “Remember, the value of a convertible bond has two components.• The straight bond value, which comes from discounting coupons and principal at the market yield curve.• The conversion value, which is the number of shares you’d receive if you converted, multiplied by the current stock price. The convertible bond price is whichever of the two is higher — the investor would never accept less than the conversion value if conversion is profitable, or less than the straight bond value if conversion is not.” You are given: Par value = $1,000 Coupon rate = [coupon]%, paid semiannually Time to maturity = [maturity] years Flat yield curve = [yield]% (annual, compounded semiannually) Conversion ratio = [convratio] shares per bond Current stock price = [stock] Task Calculate the straight bond value using the arbitrage-free framework. Calculate the conversion value = convratio × stock. The convertible bond price is the maximum of the two values. Report your result rounded to two decimals.
