Assume the firm's stock now sells for $20 per share. The company wants to sell some 20-year, $1,000 par value bonds with interest paid annually. Each bond will have attached 75 warrants, each exercisable into 1 share of stock at an exercise price of $25. The firm's straight bonds yield 12%. Assume that each warrant will have a market value of $4 when the stock sells at $20. What coupon interest rate must the company set on the bonds with warrants if they are to clear the market? (Hint: The convertible bond should have an initial price of $1,000.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
What dollar coupon must the company set on the bonds with warrants if they are to clear the market? (Hint: The convertible bond should have an initial price of $1,000.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
PLEASE SHOW WORK
Solution:-
Market Value of Warrant = 75 warrants * $4
Market Value of Warrant = $300
Initial Price = $1,000
Initial Price = Straight value of bond + Market Value of Warrant
$1,000 = Straight value of bond + $300
Straight value of bond = $1,000 - $300
Straight value of bond = $700
By Applying PMT function, To Calculate Coupon Payment-
Coupon Payment = $79.84
Coupon Interest Rate =
Coupon Interest Rate =
Coupon Interest Rate = 7.984%
