Accounting, Analysis, and Principles
On January 1, 2016, Garner issued 10-year, \(200,000 face value, 6% bonds at par. Each \)1,000 bond is convertible into 30 shares of Garner \(2 par value common stock. The company has had 10,000 shares of common stock (and no preferred stock) outstanding throughout its life. None of the bonds have been converted as of the end of 2017. (Ignore all tax effects.)
