Question

lue Inc. has decided to raise additional capital by issuing $171,000 face value of bonds with a coupon rate of 11%. In discussions with investment bankers, it was determined that to help the sale of the bonds, detachable stock warrants should be issued at the rate of one warrant for each $100 bond sold. The value of the bonds without the warrants is considered to be $115,200, and the value of the warrants in the market is $28,800. The bonds sold in the market at issuance for $140,000. Prepare the journal entry

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Value assigned to bonds =

Value of bonds without warrants/(value of bonds without warrants+value of warrants)*Issue price

Value assigned to warrants =

Value of warrants/(value of bonds without warrants+Value of warrants)

Value assigned to bonds = 115,200/(115,200+28,800) * 140,000 = 0.8*140,000 = 112,000

Value assigned to warrants = 28,800/144,000 * 140,000 = 28,000
