The finance director of Coral Co has been asked to provide values for the company’s equity and loan notes. Coral Co is a listed company and has the following long-term finance:
$m
Ordinary shares 7.8
7% convertible loan notes 8.0
15.8
The ordinary shares of Coral Co have a nominal value of $0.25 per share and are currently
trading on an ex dividend basis at $7.10 per share. An economic recovery has been forecast and so share prices are expected to grow by 8% per year for the foreseeable future.
The loan notes are redeemable after 6 years at their nominal value of $100 per loan note, or can be converted after 6 years into 10 ordinary shares of Coral Co per loan note. The loan notes are traded on the capital market.
The before-tax cost of debt of Coral Co is 5% and the company pays corporation tax of 20% per year.Assuming conversion how to find the market value of each loan note?
