A company currently has $125,000,000 of 3 1/4% convertible bonds. The company is going to offer
bondholders $125,000,000 of 3 1/4% nonconvertible bonds plus cash of $15,000,000 for the convertible
bonds. How will this transaction, if successful, affect the company's financial status?
AIt will reduce the cash position and the potential dilutive effect on the common stock
BIt will reduce the cash and debt position and reduce the potential dilutive effect on the common stock
CIt will increase the cash position and reduce the potential dilutive effect on the common stock
DIt will reduce the cash position and increase the debt position - correct answer ✔✔A
The effect of the transaction will be to reduce the cash position and the potential dilutive effect on the
common stock. The company is paying out cash and is also issuing nonconvertible bonds in place of
convertible bonds (which could have been converted into common stock). This will reduce the cash
position and the potential dilutive effect on the common stock.

The MOST appropriate buyer(s) for a variable life insurance policy is/are:
AA person with an understanding of investments who can tolerate market risk
BA person who requires the discipline of forced savings
CParents with a modest income who have young children
DA person who wants the assurance of a guaranteed cash value - correct answer ✔✔A
Similar to a variable annuity, the cash value of a variable life insurance policy increases or decreases in
relation to the performance of the separate account. A person who is knowledgeable about investments
may be a candidate for variable life insurance because common stock and bonds are the foundation of
the policy. As the market values of the securities fluctuate, the cash value changes and is not guaranteed.
, Therefore, the insured must be able to tolerate market risk. There are other methods by which an
investor may achieve forced savings and the product may not be suitable for parents with a modest
income who have young children. (73450)
