Yоu’re аssisting оn the equity-linked desk аt yоur bаnk. Your manager asks you to analyze the attractiveness of a client company’s convertible bond. She explains: “When we value a convertible bond, we consider two benchmarks:• 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 from conversion multiplied by the current stock price. The convertible bond will trade at least at the higher of these two values. Once you calculate the convertible bond price, I want you to compare it to the straight value to see how much extra investors are paying. That metric is the premium over straight value.” 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 straight value and conversion value. Calculate the premium over straight value = (convertible bond price ÷ straight value) – 1, expressed as a percentage. Report your final result (premium over straight value) as a percentage rounded to two decimals.
