(Issuance and Conversion of Bonds) For each of the unrelated transactions described below, present the entry(ies) required to record each transaction.

1. Grand Corp. issued \(20,000,000 par value 10% convertible bonds at 99. If the bonds had not been convertible, the company鈥檚 investment banker estimates they would have been sold at 95.

2. Hoosier Company issued \)20,000,000 par value 10% bonds at 98. One detachable stock purchase warrant was issued with each \(100 par value bond. At the time of issuance, the warrants were selling for \)4.

3. Suppose Sepracor, Inc. called its convertible debt in 2017. Assume the following related to the transaction. The 11%, \(10,000,000 par value bonds were converted into 1,000,000 shares of \)1 par value common stock on July 1, 2017. On July 1, there was \(55,000 of unamortized discount applicable to the bonds, and the company paid an additional \)75,000 to the bondholders to induce conversion of all the bonds. The company records the conversion using the book value method.

(Conversion of Bonds) On January 1, 2016, when its \(30 par value common stock was selling for \)80 per share, Plato Corp. issued \(10,000,000 of 8% convertible debentures due in 20 years. The conversion option allowed the holder of each \)1,000 bond to convert the bond into five shares of the corporation鈥檚 common stock. The debentures were issued for \(10,800,000.The present value of the bond payments at the time of issuance was \)8,500,000, and the corporation believes the difference between the present value and the amount paid is attributable to the conversion feature. On January 1, 2017, the corporation鈥檚 \(30 par value common stock was split 2 for 1, and the conversion rate for the bonds was adjusted accordingly. On January 1, 2018, when the corporation鈥檚 \)15 par value common stock was selling for $135 per share, holders of 30% of the convertible debentures exercisedtheir conversion options. The corporation uses the straight-line method for amortizing anybond discounts or premiums.

a) Prepare in general journal form the entry to record the original issuance of the convertible debentures.

(b) Prepare in general journal form the entry to record the exercise of the conversion option, using the book value method.

Holiday鈥檚 income for 2016 was \)120,000.

Instructions

(b) Assume the same facts, except that the 10,000 shares are contingent on Holiday鈥檚 achieving a net income of $130,000 in 2017. Would the contingent shares have to be considered in Winsor鈥檚 earnings per share computations for 2016?
