Question

Luke Corporation issued at a premium of $5,000 a $100,000 bond issue convertible into 2,000 shares of common stock (par value $20). At the time of the conversion, the unamortized premium is $3,000, the market value of the bonds is $110,000, and the stock is quoted on the market at $60 per share. If the bonds are converted into common, what is the amount of paid-in capital in excess of par to be recorded on the conversion of the bonds

Answer 1

Answer:

Face Value of Bonds = $100000

Unamortized Premium = $2000

Conversion of Equity Shares = 2000 * $20 = $40,000

Paid in Capital in Excess of Par = $100000 + $2000 - $40000 = $62000
