- You purchase a $100,000 bond futures contract at 96.5. a) Assume that the bond futures price falls to 94. What is your gain/loss? b) Assume that the bond futures price rises to 98. What is your gain/loss?arrow_forwardSuppose you own a convertible bond that has a conversion ratio equal to 62. Each convertible bond has a face value equal to $1,000. The current market value of the company's common stock is $16, and the bond is selling for $1,042. If you want to liquidate your position today because you need money to pay your rent, should you sell the bond or should you convert the bond into common stock and then sell the stock?
