Problem
Maple Aircraft has issued a 4¾% convertible subordinated debenture due 3 years from now. The conversion price is $47 and the debenture is callable at 102.75% of face value. The market price of the convertible is 91% of face value, and the price of the common is $41.50. Assume that the value of the bond in the absence of a conversion feature is about 65% of face value.
In the absence of the conversion feature, what is the current yield and yield to maturity?
