    Hi John

    Page 71 ex 1 (b) the question states that “investors required return on debentures is 10%” so the solution at the back gets the present value of the interest and redemption to calculate the debentures current market value. The solution says ‘d.f.@ 10%’ which makes sense, however the actual annuity and discount factors used appear to be 8% figures (8% happens to be the coupon rate) . Can you clarify which rate is correct. I would imagine it’s 10% but just checking? Do you think this type of question, to calculate the ‘conversion premium’ might come up in the exam?

    Cheers

    Hugh

    It is my mistake – sorry 🙁

    I think I am correct in saying that the examiner has asked for the conversion premium only once – rather a long time ago.
