A Company issued 2,000, $100 bonds with the warrants attached for $205,000. Detachable 2-
year warrants to buy one share of common stock were attached. The bonds were quoted at 90
without the warrants. The market price of the warrants without the bonds was $10. What
amount should be allocated to the warrants?
a. $20,000
b. $20,500
c. $24,000
d. $0
Refer back to the prior problem. Assume the warrants are not detachable. What amount, if
any, of the proceeds from the issuance should be accounted for as part of stockholders' equity?
a. $20,000
b. $20,500
c. $24,000
d. $0
Answer to 1st Question: The correct answer is "B" : $20,500
Reason:
Amount to be allocated to warrant = (Market Value of Warrant/(Market Value of Warrant + Market Value of Bonds)) * Issue price of bonds
Amount to be allocated to warrant = (2,000*$10/(2,000*$10+2,000*$90)) * $205,000
Amount to be allocated to warrant = ($20,000/$200,000)*$205,000
Amount to be allocated to warrant = $20,500
Answer to 2nd Question: The correct answer is "D" : $0
Reason: Where bonds are issued with non detachable warrants, we have to include both the price of the bond as well as the value of warrant in the liability portion only since the warrants cannot be sold separately.
