To determine the conversion price of the convertible bonds, it is helpful to look at the total amount of outstanding bonds and how many shares each bond can be converted into.

In this case, XYZ Corporation has $400 million of convertible bonds, and each bond can be converted into 20 shares of common stock. The conversion price can be calculated using the following formula:
