Question

Pacheco Inc. issued convertible bonds 10 years ago. Each bond had an initial term of 30 years, had a face value of $1,000, paid a coupon rate of 11%, and was convertible into 20 shares of Pacheco stock, which was selling for $30 per share at the time. Since then the price of Pacheco shares has risen to $65 and the interest rate has dropped to 8%. What is the least that each of the bonds is worth today

Answer 1

$1,296.90

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for What is the least that each of the bonds is worth today

First step is to calculate the stock each bond worth

Stock each bond worth=20 shares ×$65

Stock each bond worth= $1,300

Second step is to calculate what the bond is each worth using this formula

PV= PMT[PVFAk,n] + FV[PVFk,n]

Let plug in the formula

PV= $55[PVFA4,40] + $1,000[PVF4,40]

PV= $55(19.7928) + $1,000(.2083)

PV= $1,088.60 + $208.30

PV= $1,296.90

Therefore Based on the above calculation the least that each of the bonds is worth today is $1,296.90
