Question - Crab Apple Limited (CAL), a publicly listed company took 5,000, 4-year bonds with the following terms to market:
Face value: $1,000
Coupon rate: 6%
Bond date: January 1, 2020
Interest payment dates: July 1 and January 1 (semi-annually)
The bonds were priced to yield 4%. CAL applies the effective interest rate method and has an October 31 year-end.
PART A - Make all of the necessary entries from January 1, 2020, through January 1, 2021.
PART B - The original bond issue facts remain the same (above) except that CAL wishes to attract more investors by attaching to each $1,000 denomination bond, the option to purchase 1 CAL common share after January 1, 2021, at a price of $100 per share.
Similar options were being traded at $15 per share on the open market. CAL's investment bankers determine that with these "equity sweeteners", the bond issue would raise $5,600,000.
What entry would you record on issuance?
