Answer: The bondholders decided to convert the bonds into common stock because they believed that getting $2250 today is worth more than $120 interest every year and a $1000 principal payment at the end of the bonds life.
Explanation:
1) In order to find out the number of bonds issued we need to divide 750,000 (Total ) by 1000(Face value of each bond).Total number of bonds issues therefore are 750.
2) A 12 percent convertible bond means that the bond pays a coupon of 120 ( 0.12 * 1000) every year.
3) Each bond is convertible into 25 shares , which means if one bond is converted into common stock, the bond holder can earn $1750. We calculate this number by multiplying the number of shares which is 25 into the current market price of the shares which is 70.
4) Also the company is offering an extra $500 per bond for converting it which means (500/25) an extra $20 per share.
5) So in total the bondholder by converting a bond and selling the shares he gets by converting it can earn $2250 per bond which they bought for a $1000 and gives them 120$ of interest every year.
6) SO to conclude the bondholders decided to convert the bonds into common stock because they believed that getting $2250 today is worth more than $120 interest every year and a $1000 principal payment at the end of the bonds life.
Answer:
6.53%
Explanation:
For computing the after cost of debt we need to use the RATE formula i.e to be shown in attached spreadsheet. Kindly find it below:
Given that,
Present value = $1,050.76
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 10% = $100
NPER = 5 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying this above formula
1. The pretax cost of debt is 8.70
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 8.70% × ( 1 - 0.25)
= 6.53%
