Occasionally it is said that issuing convertible bonds is
better than issuing stock when the firms shares are
undervalued. Suppose that the financial manager of Decent
Furniture Company does in fact have inside information
indicating that the decent stock price is too low. Decent
furniture earnings will in fact be higher than investor’s
expectations. Suppose further that the inside information
cannot be released without giving away a valuable
competitive secret. Clearly, selling shares at the present
low price would harm Decent’s existing shareholders. Will
they also lose if convertible bonds are issued? If they do
lose in this case, is the loss more or less than it would
be if common stock is issued?
Now suppose that investors forecast
earnings accurately, but still under value the stock
because they overestimate Decent’s actual business risk.
Does this change your answer to the questions posed in the
preceding paragraph? Explain.

Answer / Priyanka Kumari
If the financial manager issues convertible bonds, existing shareholders may not necessarily lose as much compared to selling common stocks at a low price. Convertible bonds offer the advantage of deferred equity and interest payments, which can help shield investors from immediate dilution. However, if the company fails to meet expectations in the future, bondholders might still face losses when the bonds convert into shares.

Benjamin O'Henry has owned and operated O'Henry's Data Services since its beginning ten years ago. From all appearances, the business has prospered. In the past few years, you have become friends with O'Henry and his wife. Recently, O'Henry mentioned that he has lost his zest for the business and would consider selling it for the right price. You are interested in buying this business, and you obtain its most recent monthly unadjusted trial balance which follows: O'Henry's Data Services Unadjusted Trial Balance November 30, 20XX Cash……………………………… $9,700 Accounts receivable……………………… 7,900 Prepaid expenses………… 2,600 Furniture, fixtures, & equipment 151,300 Accumulated depreciation $15,600 Accounts payable………… 3,800 Salary payable……………… Unearned service revenue 6,700 Benjamin O'Henry, capital 137,400 Benjamin O'Henry, withdrawals 2,000 Service revenue………… 14,300 Rent expense…………… Salary expense………… 3,400 Utilities expense……… 900 Depreciation expense Supplies expense…… Total…………………………………………. $177,800 $177,800 Revenues and expenses vary little from month to month, and November is a typical month. Your investigation reveals that the unadjusted trial balance does not include the effects of monthly revenues of $2,100 and monthly expenses totaling $2,750. If you were to buy O'Henry's Data Services, you would hire a manager who would require a monthly salary of $3,000. The most you would pay for the business is 20 times the monthly net income you could expect to earn from it. Compute this possible price. The least O'Henry will take for the business is his ending capital. Compute this amount. Under these conditions, how much should you offer O'Henry? Give your reason. I have the mathimatical part ok , please give reasons on how much and why I they would offer him the amount.
