c. $40,000 premium.
d. $110,000 discount.

Answer 1

correct option is d. $110,000 discount.

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

issued = $1,000,000

bond = 11%

detachable stock warrants = 50

purchase one share = $5

common stock = $25

market value = $4

solution

we get here total no of database stock purchase warranty is = $1000 × 50

total no of database stock = $50000

and

total value of warrant = $50000 × 4

total value of warrant = $200000

and

net proceed is = $ 1000000 x 109% = $1090000

so remaining value is

remaining value = net issue proceed - warranty attached

remaining value = $1090000 - $200000

remaining value = $890000

so discount on bond is = $1000000 - $890000

discount on bond = $110000

so correct option is d. $110,000 discount.
