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

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.

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.

Question: . Mae Jong Corp. issues \(1,000,000 of 10% bonds payable which may be converted into 10,000 shares of \)2 par value ordinary shares. The market rate of interest on similar bonds is 12%. Interest is payable annually on December 31, and the bonds were issued for total proceeds of $1,000,000. In accounting for these bonds, Mae Jong Corp. will:

(a) first assign a value to the equity component, then determine the liability component.

(b) assign no value to the equity component since the conversion privilege is not separable from the bond.

(c) first assign a value to the liability component based on the face amount of the bond.

(d) use the “with-and-without” method to value the compound instrument.
