      Dear MARCOS,

      Thank you for your query regarding the convertible bond pricing model presented in this article. Your query is valid, convertible bonds are bonds with the option to be converted into common stock. The conversion price refers to the price per share at which a convertible security (such as corporate bonds) can be converted into common stock.

      The formula for conversion pricing is: Conversion Price = Market Price of Convertible Bond / Conversion Ratio

      To find the conversion price, you need the “Conversion Ratio”, which is the number of shares that investors receive upon conversion. You can divide the Bond Value (C17) by the Conversion Ratio (C18) to find the Conversion Price (C19) as illustrated below.

      I hope this clarification is helpful. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

      Kind Regards,

      Sumaiya Mirza
