Explanation / Answer

Answer

The conversions is being recorded using the book value method

Working

The conversions using the book value method

December 31, 2015.

Bonds Pemium on January 1 2014 = 3570000*(103-100)% = 107100

Amortisation of Bond Premium on decmber 31 2015 = 107100/(10*2) = 5355

Interest Payment = 3570000*10%*1/2 = 178500

Unamortised Bonds premium after decmber 31 2015 = 107100 - 5355*4 = 85680

January 1, 2016.

Conversion of $357,000 of debentures are converted into common stock

No of Common Stock Issued = 357000/1000 * 9 = 3213

Par Value of Common Stock Issued = 3213 * 102 = $ 327726

Bonds payable = 357000

Bonds Premium unamortised = 357000*3% - 357000*3%/20*4 = $ 8568

Additional Paid in Capital = 357000+8568 - 327726 = 37842

March 31, 2016.

An additional Conversion of $357,000 of debentures are converted into common stock

Interest payable = 357000*10%*1/2 *3/6 = 8925

Bond Premium Amortised =  357000*3%/20 * 3/6 = 268

Interest Expenses = 8925-268 = 8657

No of Common Stock Issued = 357000/1000 * 9 = 3213

Par Value of Common Stock Issued = 3213 * 102 = $ 327726

Bonds payable = 357000

Bonds Premium unamortised = 357000*3% - 357000*3%/20*4 - 268 = $ 8300

Additional Paid in Capital = 357000+8300 - 327726 = 37574

Jun. 30, 2016

Interest Payable Paid= $ 8925

Interest Paid on Bonds Outstanding = (3570000-357000-357000)*10%*1/2 = $ 142800

Total Interest Paid in cash = 142800 + 8925 = 151725

Bonds Premium Amortisation = (3570000-357000-357000)*3%/20 = 4284

Interest Expenses to be recorded =142800 - 4284

Interest Expenses to be recorded = 138516
