Question

Boyd Corp. issued $1,500,000 of 9% nonconvertible bonds at 107, due in 10 years. Each $1,000 bond was issued with 45 detachable stock warrants, each of which entitled the holder to purchase, for $70, one share of Boyd’s $40 par common stock. The market price of each warrant was $7. How much of the proceeds should be allocated to the warrants issued?

Answer 1

Answer:

Cash                                    1.605.000‬‬ debit

Discount on Bonds payable 279,480 debit

           Bonds payable                  1,500,000 credit

           Warrant on stock                 384,480‬ credit

Explanation:

cash proceeds:

1,500,000 x 107/100 =

bond par value $1,000

warrants 45 x $7= $315

Total                          $1,315

Issued at 107 which is 1,000 x 107/100  = 1,070

bonds  issued: 1,500,000 / 1,000 = 1,500

bonds payable: 1,070 x 1,000/1,315 = 813,68 x 1,500

discount on bonds: 1,000- 813,68 = 186,32‬ x 1,500

stock warrants 1.070x315/1,315=256,31 x 1,500
