Explanation:

Value of Nd1 = 0.9720

Value of Nd2 = 0.9050

Risk free rate = 5%

Value of the option = $500 million

Value of the coupon debt = $200 million

Value of option = [P*Nd1 - X*e^(risk free rate*time) * ND2]

Value of option = [500*0.9720 - 200*e^(-0.05) * 0.9050]

Value of option = [486-190.24 * 0.9050]

Value of option = $313.82 million

Value of Wilson Dover's debt = $500 million - $313.82 million

Value of Wilson Dover's debt = $186.18 million
