(Conversion of Bonds) Vargo Company has bonds payable outstanding in the amount of \(500,000, and the Premium on Bonds Payable account has a balance of \)7,500. Each \(1,000 bond is convertible into 20 shares of preferred stock of parvalue of \)50 per share. All bonds are converted into preferred stock.
Briefly discuss the convergence efforts that are under way by the IASB and FASB in the area of dilutive securities and earnings per share.
Accounting, Analysis, and Principles
On January 1, 2016, Garner issued 10-year, \(200,000 face value, 6% bonds at par. Each \)1,000 bond is convertible into 30 shares of Garner \(2 par value common stock. The company has had 10,000 shares of common stock (and no preferred stock) outstanding throughout its life. None of the bonds have been converted as of the end of 2017. (Ignore all tax effects.)
Accounting
(a) Prepare the journal entry Garner would have made on January 1, 2016, to record the issuance of the bonds.
(b) Garner’s net income in 2017 was \)30,000 and was \(27,000 in 2016. Compute basic and diluted earnings per share for Garner for 2017 and 2016.
(c) Assume that 75% of the holders of Garner’s convertible bonds convert their bonds to stock on June 30, 2018, when Garner’s stock is trading at \)32 per share. Garner pays $50 per bond to induce bondholders to convert. Prepare the journal entry to record the conversion.
Analysis
Show how Garner will report income and EPS for 2017 and 2016. Briefly discuss the importance of GAAP for EPS to analysts evaluating companies based on price-earnings ratios. Consider comparisons for a company over time, as well as comparisons between companies at a point in time.
Principles
In order to converge GAAP and IFRS, the FASB is considering whether the equity element of a convertible bond should be reported as equity. Describe how the journal entry you made in part (a) above would differ under IFRS. In terms of the accounting principles discussed in Chapter 2, what does IFRS for convertible debt accomplish that GAAP potentially sacrifices? What does GAAP for convertible debt accomplish that IFRS potentially sacrifices?
GROUPWORK (Entries for Various Dilutive Securities) The stockholders’ equity section of Martino Inc. at the beginning of the current year appears below.
Common stock, \(10 par value, authorized 1,000,000
shares, 300,000 shares issued and outstanding \)3,000,000
Paid-in capital in excess of par—common stock 600,000
Retained earnings 570,000
During the current year, the following transactions occurred.
1. The company issued to the stockholders 100,000 rights. Ten rights are needed to buy one share of stock at \(32. The rights were void after 30 days. The market price of the stock at this time was \)34 per share.
2. The company sold to the public a \(200,000, 10% bond issue at 104. The company also issued with each \)100 bond one detachable stock purchase warrant, which provided for the purchase of common stock at \(30 per share. Shortly after issuance, similar bonds without warrants were selling at 96 and the warrants at \)8.
3. All but 5,000 of the rights issued in (1) were exercised in 30 days.
4. At the end of the year, 80% of the warrants in (2) had been exercised, and the remaining were outstanding and in good standing.
5. During the current year, the company granted stock options for 10,000 shares of common stock to company executives.
The company, using a fair value option-pricing model, determines that each option is worth \(10. The option price is \)30.
The options were to expire at year-end and were considered compensation for the current year.
6. All but 1,000 shares related to the stock-option plan were exercised by year-end. The expiration resulted because one of the executives failed to fulfill an obligation related to the employment contract.
Instructions
(a) Prepare general journal entries for the current year to record the transactions listed above.
(b) Prepare the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet at the end of the current year. Assume that retained earnings
at the end of the current year is $750,000.
