2y ago#1Hi,
If you attempt the question first then I can look to help you with what you do not understand. Here the challenge is dealing with the convertible, so remember to look at the post-tax interest saved on the convertible once converted and then also look at the maximum number of shares to be issued. have a go and see how you get on. I'll gladly help then.
Thanks
