Answer 1

Number of bonds outstanding = 1,700

Par value of 1 bond = $1,000

Par value of bonds = Number of bonds outstanding x Par value of 1 bond

= 1,700 x 1,000

= $1,700,000

Unamortized discount on bonds = $26,900

1 bond is convertible into 70 shares.

Number of shares to be issued = 1,700 x 70

= 119,000

Par value of 1 share = $10

Common stock will be credited by = Number of shares to be issued x Par value of 1 share

= 119,000 x 10

= $1,190,000

Paid in capital in excess of par - common will be credited by = Par value of bonds- Unamortized discount on bonds-Common stock

= 1,700,000-26,900-1,190,000

= $483,100
