Question

On April 1, 2021, Austere Corporation issued $330,000 of 11% bonds at 106. Each $1,000 bond was sold with 30 detachable stock warrants, each permitting the investor to purchase one share of common stock for $16. On that date, the market value of the common stock was $13 per share and the market value of each warrant was $3. Austere should record what amount of the proceeds from the bond issue as an increase in liabilities

Answer 1

Austere Corporation

The amount of the proceeds from the bond that should be recorded as an increase in liabilities is:

= $320,100.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

The bonds issued = $330,000 at 106

Number of $1,000 bonds issued = 330 ($330,000/$1,000)

Market value of each warrant = $3

Proceeds from issue of bond = $330,000*106% = $349,800

Fair value of warrant issued = 330*30*$3 = $29,700

The bond issue liability = $349,800 - $29,700 = $320,100
