Increased Common equity price- $51
Requirement 1:
To determine effect of each component of convertible bond's value on increase in Ytel's common equity price.
Introduction:
The conversion value of bond is equal to the value if the bond is converted into stock immediately. Also, an increase in stock price volatility increases the
The two components of convertible bond's value are:
1.Straight bond value- In this, increase in interest rates decreases the straight value component of the convertible bond.
2.Option Value- In this, an increase in interest rates increases value of equity call option.
B(i)

Explanation of Solution
If the common equity price increases, the straight bond value should remain the same and the Option value of the bond should increase. The option value component increases and it becomes "deep in the money" because the price of the equity price is higher ($51 per share) than the bond's contract price ($1000/25= $40 per share)
Thus the straight bond value should remain unchanged and option value should increase with an increase in common equity price.
B(ii)
Requirement 2:
To determine effect of each component of convertible bond's value on increase in Ytel's bond yield.
Introduction:
The conversion value of bond is equal to the value if the bond is converted into stock immediately. Also, an increase in stock price volatility increases the bond price which means if the stock price are volatile, the conversion option on stock is more valuable.
The two components of convertible bond's value are:
1.Straight bond value- In this, increase in interest rates decreases the straight value component of the convertible bond.
2.Option Value- In this, an increase in interest rates increases value of equity call option.
B(ii)

Explanation of Solution
If the Ytel's bond yield increases, the straight bond value should decrease and option value should increase. This is because bond value declines when bond yield increases and call option increases when bond yield increases though this increase may be small as compared to change in option value as a result of increase in equity price.
Thus the straight bond value should decrease and option value should increase with an increase in bond yield.
