Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
The minimum value of a convertible bond is typically the greater of its investment value (as a bond) or its conversion value (as stock). Without specific details on the bond's interest rate, maturity, or the conversion ratio, we can't calculate the investment value. However, the conversion value can be inferred if we know the current stock price and the conversion ratio. Given only the current stock price ($69.50) and without the conversion ratio or other bond details, we cannot precisely calculate the minimum value. Therefore, without additional information, we cannot provide a detailed explanation for the correct answer. My response was based on the assumption that more information was provided or implied in the question setup, which led to a specific choice being correct. However, without details on the bond's terms or the context implying how to determine the minimum value, the correct answer cannot be determined from the information given.
