Analysis and Conclusion
Falls under the equity value approach of valuing convertiblebonds proposed by McConnell and Schwartz.
convertible is split into two components; cash(debt) andequity component which are discounted at different rates.
the value of the convertible bond v is the sum of the twocomponents.
leads to coupled Black-Scholes equations which can be solvedgiven final and boundary conditions.

Assumptions
The stock is assumed to follow a geometric Brownian motion
dS = µSdt + σSdZ
The mean and variance of the stock price from one time stepto the next
0 < d < erδt < u and 0 < p < 1
The tree recombines i.e. ud = 1

Analysis and Conclusion
An option is replicated with a portfolio of stock and a bond
f = ∆S + B (3)
The price of this portfolio is equivalent to the price of the optionto avoid arbitrage.
∆uS + Berδt = fu
∆dS + Berδt = fd
solving the above simultaneously for ∆ and B and substituting to3 gives;
f0 = [pfu + (1 − p)fd ]e−rδt (4)
the present value of a derivative on stock (the underlying) in therisk neutral world with a payoff f at maturity

matching expected value and variance to the model takingassumptions into account give:
p =erδt−d
u − d
u = e+σ√δt

Analysis and Conclusion
the price of the convertible bond at the final node
vT = max[Conversion value(κST ),Nominal] + Last Coupon
the convertible bond value at each node
vt = max[min(Qt ,Ct),Pt , κSt ]
where;Qt is the value calculated through the tree.Ct is call pricePt is the put priceκSt is conversion price
