Question: (Conversion of Bonds) On January 1, 2017, Gottlieb Corporation issued \(4,000,000 of 10-year, 8% convertible debentures at 102. Interest is to be paid semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. Each \)1,000 debenture can be converted into eight shares of Gottlieb Corporation \(100 par value common stock after December 31, 2018. On January 1, 2019, \)400,000 of debentures are converted into common stock, which is then selling at \(110. An additional \)400,000 of debentures are converted on March 31, 2019. The market price of the common stock is then $115. Accrued interest at March 31 will be paid on the next interest date. Bond premium is amortized on a straight-line basis.

Make the necessary journal entries for:

(a) December 31, 2018. (c) March 31, 2019.

(b) January 1, 2019. (d) June 30, 2019.

Record the conversions using the book value method

Question: Petrenko Corporation has outstanding 2,000 \(1,000 bonds, each convertible into 50 shares of \)10 par value ordinary shares. The bonds are converted on December 31, 2017. The bonds payable has a carrying value of \(1,950,000 and conversion equity of \)20,000. Record the conversion using the book value method.

IFRS16-3 Norman Co., a fast-growing golf equipment company, uses GAAP. It is considering the issuance of convertible bonds. The bonds mature in 10 years, have a face value of \(400,000, and pay interest annually at a rate of 4%. The equity component of the bond issue has a fair value of \)35,000. Greg Shark is curious as to the difference in accounting for these bonds if the company were to use IFRS.

(a) Prepare the entry to record issuance of the bonds at par under GAAP.

(b) Repeat the requirement for part (a), assuming application of IFRS to the bond issuance.

(c) Which approach provides the better accounting? Explain.

(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’s 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.

(Issuance, Exercise, and Termination of Stock Options) On January 1, 2018, Titania Inc. granted stock options to officers and key employees for the purchase of 20,000 shares of the company’s \(10 par common stock at \)25 per share. The options were exercisable within a 5-year period beginning January 1, 2020, by grantees still in the employ of the company, and expiring December 31, 2024. The service period for this award is 2 years. Assume that the fair value option-pricing model determines total compensation expense to be \(350,000.On April 1, 2019, 2,000 options were terminated when the employees resigned from the company. The market price of the common stock was \)35 per share on this date.On March 31, 2020, 12,000 options were exercised when the market price of the common stock was $40 per share.

Instructions

Prepare journal entries to record issuance of the stock options, termination of the stock options, exercise of the stock options, and charges to compensation expense, for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019, and 2020.
