A. Calculate the exercise value of the firm's warrants if the common sells at each of the following prices: (1) $20, (2) $25, (3) $30, (4) $100. (Hint: A warrant's exercise value is the difference between the stock price and the purchase price specified by the warrant if the warrant were to be exercised.) (1) $20 $ 0 (2) 25 $ 0 (3) 30 $ 5 (4) 100 $ 75
B. Assume the firm's stock now sells for $20 per share. The company wants to sell some 20-year, $1,000 par value bonds with interest paid annually. Each bond will have attached 75 warrants, each exercisable into 1 share of stock at an exercise price of $25. The firm's straight bonds yield 11%. Assume that each warrant will have a market value of $3.25 when the stock sells at $20. What coupon interest rate must the company set on the bonds with warrants if they are to clear the market? (Hint: The convertible bond should have an initial price of $1,000.) Round your answer to two decimal places. %
C. What dollar coupon must the company set on the bonds with warrants if they are to clear the market? (Hint: The convertible bond should have an initial price of $1,000.) Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $
