Debt/Equity =1.25; Equity = $4,000,000

Debt =1.25 x $4,000,000 = $5,000,000

Shares issued on conversion: $1,000,000/$1,000/bond x50 shares/bond =50,000 shares

Equity Issued: $1,000,000

Debt Reduction: $1,000,000 resulting in $4,000,000 outstanding

New Debt/Capital ratio: Debt/(Debt + Equity) = $4,000,000/($4,000,000+$5,000,000) = 

44.4%

Current Debt Equity Ratio:1.25:1

Equity is $4,000,000

Hence Debt is $4,000,000 X1.25 = $5,000,000 (including $1,000,000 Convertible Bonds)

 

If all the convertible bonds are converted, debt will come to $4,000,000 ($5,000,000-$1,000,000) and

New equity will be $5,000,000 (current $4,000,000 + Bond $1,000,000)

 

Hence the new DER will be $4,000,000 : $5,000,000 i.e.80%.

Answer is C.80%.

 

Note: the number of current equity shares, current price, conversion ratio & coupon rate are irrelevant for this question.

I'll give it a shot.

A D/E ratio of1.25 or125% means that for each $ of equity correspond a1.25$ in debts. If the initial equity is4 Mil$, the debts are5 mil$ then the Total capital is9 mil$ (this would equal a Total Debt Ratio of0.55 or55%).

Increasing the equity by1 Mil$ (4+1=5) by converting the bonds and reducing the debts by1 Mil $ (5-1=4) would provide the following Debt/Capital ratio result:4 (new debts level)/9 (Total capital) =44.4%
