On January 1, 2018, when the corporation鈥檚 \)15 par value common stock was selling for $135 per share, holders of 30% of the convertible debentures exercisedtheir conversion options.

(c) Assume you want to compare Ragatz to an IFRS company like Merck (which issues nonconvertible debt with detachable warrants). Assuming that the fair value of the equity component of Ragatz鈥檚 convertible bonds is \)150,000, how would you adjust the analysis above to make valid comparisons between Ragatz and Merck?
