The following CA Inter FM Practice Questions are based on the available study material for the Cost of Capital chapter. They cover convertible debentures, the approximation method, the internal rate of return method and bond valuation.
Question – 1: TT Ltd. issued 20,000, 10% convertible debentures of `100 each with a maturity period of 5 years. At maturity, the debenture holders will have the option to convert debentures into equity shares of the company in the ratio of 1:5 (5 shares for each debenture). The current market price of the equity share is `20 each, and historically the growth rate of the share is 4% per annum. Assuming the tax rate is 25%. Compute the cost of 10% convertible debenture using the Approximation Method and Internal Rate of Return Method.

Solution
Value of equity shares after 5 years = 20 × (1 + 0.04)5 = `24.33
Redemption value of debenture will be higher of:
a) Cash value of debenture = `100
b) Value of equity shares = 5 × 24.33 = `121.65
∴Higher redemption value of the above two = `121.65
