a

                  K = N
Bond Price =∑ [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =5
Bond Price =∑ [(10*1000/100)/(1 + 13/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 13/100)^5
                   k=1
Bond Price = 894.48
Discount rate 0.13
Year 0 1 2 3 4 5
Cash flow stream 0 100 100 100 100 1100
Discounting factor 1 1.13 1.2769 1.442897 1.6304736 1.842435
Discounted cash flows project 0 88.49558 78.31467 69.30502 61.331873 597.0359
Price= Sum of discounted cash flows
Bond price = 894.48
Where
Discounting factor = (1 + discount rate)^(Corresponding period in years)
Discounted Cashflow= Cash flow stream/discounting factor

b

Conversion option value = Value of conversion bond-value of straight bond
Conversion option value = 900-894.48
Conversion option value = 5.52

c

Conversion value = Conversion ratio*current share price
Conversion value = 26.32*30
Conversion value = 789.6

d

Donot convert as conversion value is less than current price of bond
