for the cost of convertible debt, you have 2 find the IRR of the following cashflows:
1)market value of convertible debt(outflow)
2)interest amount(inflow)
3)tax on interest(outflow)
4)higher of redemption value or conversion value(inflow)November 25, 2012 at 8:57 am #108422Mansi’s answer is correct.
For preference shares it is the normal cost of equity formula – it is simply that because preference shares have a fixed dividend therefore g = 0
For convertible debt it is the same as all redeemable debt – you need to calculate the IRR. The only difference is that you have first to decide what the investors expect to receive on redemption ( it will be there choice as to whether to take cash or shares).
