问题如下:
Hsu selects the two bonds issued by Whorton, Inc. given in the Exhibit below. These bonds are close to their maturity date and are identical, except that Bond #9 includes a conversion option. Whorton’s common stock is currently trading at $30 per share.
The minimum value of Bond 9 is equal to the greater of:
选项:
A.
the conversion value of Bond 9 and the current value of Bond 10.
B.
the current value of Bond 10 and a call option on Whorton’s common stock.
C.
the conversion value of Bond 9 and a call option on Whorton’s common stock.
解释:
A is correct.
考点:对可转债的理解
解析 : 可转换债券的最小价值为 : 可转债的转换价值和纯债券的当前价值 ( 即债券10 ) 中的较大者 。 由于该可转债的Conversion price为50 , 而当前公司的股票价格为30 , 因此可转债的价值为债券价值 , 因此选择A选项 。
请问一下 题目里的描述: Bond 10 identical to Bond 9 except that it does not include a conversion options. 这个应该怎么理解? 是否理解为: bond 10和bond 9 是一样的,只是bond 10没有可转债这个option? 但是bond 10没有可转债的option, 难道价值不应该比bond 9 低一些吗? 为啥答案A 里,两者是一样的呢?
不是很明白,谢谢。
