    a. Prepare the entry to record the issuance of the bonds and warrants

    Cash received on issuance of 1,500 $1,000 bonds at 102 = $1,500,000

    Account Title Debit Credit

    Cash ($1,500,000 X 1.02) 1,530,000

    Discount on Bonds Payable 30,000

    [ (1 -.98) X $1,500,000]

    Bonds Payable 1,500,000

    Paid-in Capital-Stock Warrants 60,000

    [$1,530,000 - ($1,500,000 X. 98)

    b. Assume the same facts as part (a), except that the warrants had a fair value of $30. Prepare the entry to record the issuance of the bonds and warrants.

    Market value of bonds without warrants $1,470,000

    ($1,500,000 X. 98)

    Market value of warrants (1,500 X $30) 45,000

    Total market value $1,515,000

    Value assigned to bonds = 1,470,000/1,515,000 x $1,530,000 = $1,484,554

    Value assigned to warrants = 45,000/1,515,000 X $1,530,000 = 45,446

    Account Title Debit Credit

    Cash 1,530,000

    Discount on Bonds Payable

    ($1,500,000 - $1,484,554) 15,446

    Bonds Payable 1,500,000

    Paid-in Capital-Stock Warrants 45,446
