Wait, if the stock pays no dividend, does that mean I can't use it to buy myself a nice lunch? This question is really making me hungry...

Well, looks like we'll have to stick to using cash for lunch instead.

No, you can't use the stock to buy lunch since it pays no dividend.

I'm not an expert, but I think the answer is B. After all, if I had a convertible bond, I'd want to make the most money possible, right? $50 per share increase sounds like a sweet deal to me!

I'm confused. Isn't the point of a convertible bond to take advantage of the stock price increase? This question is making my head spin!

Hmm, interesting. I'm leaning towards C, as the bond value should only increase by $20 (1 share x $1 increase) if the stock price goes up by $1.

That makes sense, so the answer would be C) $20.

I think you're right, it should increase by $20 if the stock price goes up by $1.

I think the answer is B. If the bond is convertible into 20 shares, and each share is worth less than $50, then the bond value won't increase by more than $50 as the share price increases by $1.

I'm not sure, but I think the answer might be B) $50. Can someone explain the rationale behind the correct answer?

I agree with Dottie, because for every $1 increase in stock value, the bond value will increase by $25.
