Sun corp issues $100,000 convertible bonds at a premium. Bonds are convertible into 2,000 shares of common stock (par$40). At the time of conversion, the bonds have a FMV of $110,000, common stock has a FMV of $60 per share and unamortized premium on bonds is $2,000. What is the amount of paid in capital in excess of par on common stock upon coversion?
Par value of bonds = $100,000
Unamortized bond premium = $2,000
Number of common shares to be issued = 2,000
Par value of 1 common share = $40
Total amount to be credited to common stock at the time of conversion = Number of common shares to be issued x Par value of 1 common share
= 2,000 x 40
= $80,000
Total amount to be credited to paid in capital in excess of par on common stock upon conversion = Par value of bonds + Unamortized bond premium - Total amount to be credited to common stock at the time of conversion
= 100,000 + 2,000 - 80,000
= $22,000
FMV of bonds and common stock is not relevant at the time of conversion.
