shares, 300,000 shares issued and outstanding \)3,000,000

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.

Bonds Payable 1,000,000 Discount on Bonds Payable 40,000 Common Stock 800,000 Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par— Common Stock 160,000 Discuss the propriety of this accounting treatment.
