The bonds are currently selling at a conversion premium of $45 over their conversion value. If the price of the common stock rises to $25 on this date next year, what would your rate of return be if you bought a convertible bond today and sold it in one year? Assume on this date next year, the conversion premium has shrunk from $45 to $25. (Hint: Calculate rate of return as (Future bond price - Current bond price + Interest earnings) / Current bond price)) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Rate of return %
