Question

a.) Warrants - Assume that Pogue's stock now sells for $18 per share. The company wants to sell some 20-year, annual interest, $1,000 par value bonds. Each bond will have 50 warrants, each warrant entitles the holder to buy 1 share of stock at a price of $21. Pogue's pure bonds yield 8%. Assume that the warrants will have a market value of $2.00 when the stock sells at $18. What annual dollar coupon must the company set on the bonds with warrants if they are to clear the market (i.e., the market is in equilibrium)? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

b.) What annual coupon interest rate must the company set on the bonds with warrants if they are to clear the market (i.e., the market is in equilibrium)? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Explanation / Answer

a) Bond Yield = Annual coupan(Interest) payment / current market price

8% = interest / 100

0.08 = interest /100

0.08 * 100 = Interest

   Interest = $8

Note: market price of bond carrying warrant = 50 warrant * $2 = $100 per bond
