Calculate finance cost and SFP extracts for Bolgania Ltd’s 6% convertible loan stock for 20X4; comment on Accra Advisors’ advice.

Accra Advisors had advised that if Bolgania Ltd had issued similar loan stock without the conversion rights, then it would have had to pay an interest (coupon) rate of 10% on the loan stock. This is because the terms of conversion to equity shares are favourable.
