S Co. issued $4,100,000 of 12%, 5-year convertible bonds on
December 1, 2020 for $4,122,360 plus accrued interest. The bonds

straight-line basis. S Co. has a fiscal year end of September
30.
On October 1, 2021, $2,050,000 of these bonds were converted into
28,000 shares of $15 par common stock. Accrued interest was paid in

Answer:
Date | Particulars | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
Bonds payable | 4,100,000 | ||
Premium on bonds payable | 9,030 | ||
Common stock (28,000*15) | 420,000 | ||
Paid in capital in excess of par (Bal fig) | 3,689,030 |
Working Notes:
Premium on bonds payable = 4,100,000-4,122,360= 22,360
Total periods = 5*12 = 60 periods
Exipred months = 8 (April 1 to December 1)
Periods remaining = 60-8 = 52 months
Premium related to bonds converted = 22360*2,050,000/4,100,000 =
11,180
Premium amortized related to bonds converted = 11,180/52*10
=2150
Premium unamortized = 11,180-2,150= 9030
