NACVA CVA Exam - Topic 3 Question 68 Discussion

Actual exam question for NACVA's CVA exam

Question #: 68
Topic #: 3

If a $1000 per share value of convertible bond is issued for $1000, and is convertible into 20 shares of issuer's common stock that pays no dividend, there will be no economic benefit in converting the debt to stock as long as the common stock is selling for less than $50 per share. If the bond value is indeed in the equity-equivalent region, as the value of a single share of common stock increases $1, the bond value will increase:

A$25

B$50

C$20

D$10

Nope, it should be $25, not $20.

So if stock goes up $1, bond value goes up $20, right?

Wait, are you sure about that? Sounds off.

The bond converts to 20 shares at $50 each.

I feel like it might be $50, but I’m not entirely confident. I need to double-check my notes on convertible bonds.

If the bond converts into 20 shares, wouldn't that mean the bond value goes up by $20 for every $1 increase in stock price?

I think I practiced a similar question where the bond value increased with the stock price, but I can't recall the exact multiplier.

I remember something about how convertible bonds work, but I'm not sure how to calculate the exact change in value.

Alright, time to put my problem-solving skills to the test. I'll start by considering the basic requirements for Orders, then evaluate each option carefully. Gotta nail this one.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know Approval Process and Workflow Rule are options, but I'm not sure how they would work for automatically creating a new opportunity. I'll need to think this through carefully.

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.
