Tomba Corporation had 300,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2017. On May 1, Tomba issued 30,000 shares. (a) Compute the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 30,000 shares were issued for cash. (b) Compute the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 30,000 shares were issued in a stock dividend.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The weighted-average number of shares outstanding is $320,000.

b. The 30,000 shares issued in the stock dividend are assumed outstanding from the beginning of the year. Therefore, the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is 330,000.

Step by step solution

01

Computation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 30,000 shares were issued for cash 

(a).

weighted-averagenumberofsharesoutstanding=(ExistingSharesOutstanding×Periodcovered)+(ExistingandCurrentoutstandingshare×Periodcovered)=(300000×412)+(330000×812)=$100,000+$220,000=$320,000

02

Computation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding if the 30,000 shares were issued in a stock dividend

weighted-averagenumberofsharesoutstanding=Existingoutstandingshares+sharesissuedinstockdividend=300,000+30,000=330,000

What are the arguments for giving separate accounting recognition to the conversion feature of debentures?

Briefly explain why corporations issue convertible securities.

Archer Inc. issued $4,000,000 par value, 7% convertible bonds at 99 for cash. If the bonds had not included the conversion feature, they would have sold for 95. Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds.

Explain how the conversion feature of convertible debt has a value (a) to the issuer and (b) to the purchaser.

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?
