Is the Conversion Value shown in Figure 1 the same as the Conversion price? The terminology is unclear. If so, can the conversion price (value?) example be modified to match the figure? --LadyGeek 12:56, 24 August 2013 (CDT)

"To help clarify some of these concepts, we present a hypothetical example in the table below and graphically in Figure 2-6. Assume that a new issue convertible has come to market. It has a 5 percent coupon and 10 years to maturity. The issuing company has other 10 year debt that carries an 8 percent yield, and the company's stock is currently trading at $42.


 * Also note that this model is a simplification, that professionals use the full gamut of greeky math (delta, gamma, rho, theta, and vega) to value convertible bonds and the academics utilize differential equation calculus ,--Blbarnitz 16:19, 24 August 2013 (CDT)
