CA16-3 WRITING (Stock Warrants鈥擵arious Types) For various reasons a corporation may issue warrants to purchase shares of its common stock at specified prices that, depending on the circumstances, may be less than, equal to, or greater than the current market price. For example, warrants may be issued:

1. To existing stockholders on a pro rata basis.

2. To certain key employees under an incentive stock-option plan.

3. To purchasers of the corporation鈥檚 bonds.

Instructions

For each of the three examples of how stock warrants are used:

(a) Explain why they are used.

(b) Discuss the significance of the price (or prices) at which the warrants are issued (or granted) in relation to (1) the current market price of the company鈥檚 stock, and (2) the length of time over which they can be exercised.

(c) Describe the information that should be disclosed in financial statements, or notes thereto, that are prepared when stock warrants are outstanding in the hands of the three groups listed above

Question: Briefly describe some of the similarities and differences between GAAP and IFRS with respect to the accounting for dilutive securities, stock-based compensation, and earnings per share.

(Conversion of Bonds) On January 1, 2016, when its \(30 par value common stock was selling for \)80 per share, Plato Corp. issued \(10,000,000 of 8% convertible debentures due in 20 years. The conversion option allowed the holder of each \)1,000 bond to convert the bond into five shares of the corporation鈥檚 common stock. The debentures were issued for \(10,800,000.The present value of the bond payments at the time of issuance was \)8,500,000, and the corporation believes the difference between the present value and the amount paid is attributable to the conversion feature. On January 1, 2017, the corporation鈥檚 \(30 par value common stock was split 2 for 1, and the conversion rate for the bonds was adjusted accordingly. On January 1, 2018, when the corporation鈥檚 \)15 par value common stock was selling for $135 per share, holders of 30% of the convertible debentures exercisedtheir conversion options. The corporation uses the straight-line method for amortizing anybond discounts or premiums.

a) Prepare in general journal form the entry to record the original issuance of the convertible debentures.

(b) Prepare in general journal form the entry to record the exercise of the conversion option, using the book value method.

Show supporting computations in good form.

GROUPWORK (Entries for Various Dilutive Securities) The stockholders鈥� equity section of Martino Inc. at the beginning of the current year appears below.

Common stock, \(10 par value, authorized 1,000,000

shares, 300,000 shares issued and outstanding \)3,000,000

Paid-in capital in excess of par鈥攃ommon stock 600,000

Retained earnings 570,000

During the current year, the following transactions occurred.

1. The company issued to the stockholders 100,000 rights. Ten rights are needed to buy one share of stock at \(32. The rights were void after 30 days. The market price of the stock at this time was \)34 per share.

2. The company sold to the public a \(200,000, 10% bond issue at 104. The company also issued with each \)100 bond one detachable stock purchase warrant, which provided for the purchase of common stock at \(30 per share. Shortly after issuance, similar bonds without warrants were selling at 96 and the warrants at \)8.

3. All but 5,000 of the rights issued in (1) were exercised in 30 days.

4. At the end of the year, 80% of the warrants in (2) had been exercised, and the remaining were outstanding and in good standing.

5. During the current year, the company granted stock options for 10,000 shares of common stock to company executives.

The company, using a fair value option-pricing model, determines that each option is worth \(10. The option price is \)30.

The options were to expire at year-end and were considered compensation for the current year.

6. All but 1,000 shares related to the stock-option plan were exercised by year-end. The expiration resulted because one of the executives failed to fulfill an obligation related to the employment contract.

Instructions

(a) Prepare general journal entries for the current year to record the transactions listed above.

(b) Prepare the stockholders鈥� equity section of the balance sheet at the end of the current year. Assume that retained earnings

at the end of the current year is $750,000.

IFRS16-3 Norman Co., a fast-growing golf equipment company, uses GAAP. It is considering the issuance of convertible bonds. The bonds mature in 10 years, have a face value of \(400,000, and pay interest annually at a rate of 4%. The equity component of the bond issue has a fair value of \)35,000. Greg Shark is curious as to the difference in accounting for these bonds if the company were to use IFRS.

(a) Prepare the entry to record issuance of the bonds at par under GAAP.

(b) Repeat the requirement for part (a), assuming application of IFRS to the bond issuance.

(c) Which approach provides the better accounting? Explain.
