Explanation:

Convertible instruments have both equity and liability components in them but since similar yield rate is not available then we can assume that the bonds are liability until converted and that the whole of 28mllion is liablity .

purchase by Century 28 million * 0.20 = $5600000

interest = bond * 7% * 6/12

and also = investment *7% *6/12 for Century

conversion = 560000/1000= 5600 shares * 33 =$184800
