Induced Conversion
Response to the following problem:
On July 1, 2011, the Tuttle Company had bonds payable outstanding with a face value of $200,000 and a book value of $194,000. The interest on these bonds was paid on June 30. When these bonds were issued, each $1,000 bond was convertible into 20 shares of $10 par common stock. To induce conversion, on June 15, 2011, the terms were changed so that each bond was convertible into 22 shares of common stock if the conversion was made within 30 days. All the bonds were converted on July 1, 2011, when the market price of the common stock was $50 per share.
Required
Using the book value method, record the conversion of the bonds on July 1, 2011.
