The table below provides market data from October 1, 2014, Solve for the unknown variables. The "Premium" column refers to the percentage extra an investor would pay for the stock if it purchased the bond at the market price and immediately converted at the conversion ratio. Assume that the bonds pay semiannually, that they mature at the end of the year shown, and that today is October 1, 2014. Thus the next payment will be in 3 months or 0.5 of a semiannual payment period. (Ignore any slight rounding.)
