Solution

To answer this question, we first need to calculate the conversion value of the convertible bond. The conversion value is the worth of the bond if it was converted into shares today.

Step 1: Calculate the conversion value The conversion value is calculated by multiplying the conversion ratio by the current stock price. In this case, the conversion ratio is 80 shares and the current stock price is $15 per share.

Conversion value = Conversion ratio * Current stock price Conversion value = 80 shares * 15/shareConversionvalue=15/share Conversion value = 1,200

Step 2: Compare the conversion value with the current market value of the bond The current market value of the bond is $1,075.

Since the conversion value (1,200)ishigherthanthecurrentmarketvalueofthebond(1,200) is higher than the current market value of the bond (1,075), the bond is trading at a conversion discount.

Step 3: Calculate the amount of the conversion discount The conversion discount is calculated by subtracting the current market value of the bond from the conversion value.

Conversion discount = Conversion value - Current market value of the bond Conversion discount = 1,2001,200 - 1,075 Conversion discount = $125

So, the answer is: d. a conversion discount of $125
