Would you please only asnwer the last three questions Thanks!!


Fifteen years ago, Roop Industries sold $400 million of convertible bonds. The bonds had<br>a 40-year maturity, a 5.75% coupon rate, and paid interest annually. They were sold at<br>their $1,000 par value. The conversion price was set at $62.75, and the common stock<br>price was $55 per share. The bonds were subordinated debentures and were given an<br>A rating; straight nonconvertible debentures of the same quality yielded about 8.75% at<br>the time Roop's bonds were issued.<br>a. Calculate the premium on the bonds-that is, the percentage excess of the conversion<br>price over the stock price at the time of issue.<br>b. What is Roop's annual before-tax interest savings on the convertible issue versus a<br>straight-debt issue?<br>c. At the time the bonds were issued, what was the value per bond of the conversion<br>feature?<br>d. Suppose the price of Roop's common stock fell from $55 on the day the bonds were<br>issued to $32.75 now, 15 years after the issue date (also assume the stock price never<br>exceeded $62.75). Assume interest rates remained constant. What is the current price<br>of the straight-bond portion of the convertible bond? What is the current value if a<br>bondholder converts a bond? Do you think it is likely that the bonds will be<br>converted? Why or why not?<br>e. The bonds originally sold for $1,000. If interest rates on A-rated bonds had remained<br>constant at 8.75% and if the stock price had fallen to $32.75, then what do<br>would have happened to the price of the convertible bonds? (Assume no change in<br>the standard deviation of stock returns.)<br>f. Now<br>you<br>think<br>that the price of Roop's common stock had fallen from $55 on the day<br>suppose<br>the bonds were issued to $32.75 at present, 15 years after the issue.
