• LO14–5
Bradley-Link’s December 31, 2018, balance sheet included the following items:
Long-Term Liabilities | ($ in millions) |
9.6% convertible bonds, callable at 101 beginning in 2019, due 2022 (net of unamortized discount of $2) [note 8] | $198 |
10.4% registered bonds callable at 104 beginning in 2028, due 2032 (net of unamortized discount of $1) [note 8] | 49 |
Shareholders’ Equity | |
Equity—stock warrants | 4 |
Note 8: Bonds (in part)
The 9.6% bonds were issued in 2005 at 97.5 to yield 10%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 40 shares of the Company’s no par common stock.
The 10.4% bonds were issued in 2009 at 102 to yield 10%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Each $1,000 bond was issued with 40 detachable stock warrants, each of which entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s no par common stock for $25, beginning 2019.
On January 3, 2019, when Bradley-Link’s common stock had a market price of $32 per share, Bradley-Link called the convertible bonds to force conversion. 90% were converted; the remainder were acquired at the call price. When the common stock price reached an all-time high of $37 in December of 2017, 40% of the warrants were exercised.
Required:
- 1. Prepare the journal entries that were recorded when each of the two bond issues was originally sold in 2005 and 2009.
- 2. Prepare the
journal entry to record (book value method) the conversion of 90% of the convertible bonds in January 2019 and the retirement of the remainder. - 3. Assume Bradley-Link induced conversion by offering $150 cash for each bond converted. Prepare the journal entry to record (book value method) the conversion of 90% of the convertible bonds in January 2019.
- 4. Assume Bradley-Link induced conversion by modifying the conversion ratio to exchange 45 shares for each bond rather than the 40 shares provided in the contract. Prepare the journal entry to record (book value method) the conversion of 90% of the convertible bonds in January 2019.
- 5. Prepare the journal entry to record the exercise of the warrants in December 2019.

Convertible bond
Convertible bonds are a kind of bonds that can be easily converted into common stock at the option of the issuance of the bond.
Induced Conversion
The investors will not be willing to convert the bonds into shares even if the share prices are high. So, the company will induce the investors to convert the bonds into the stocks in order to reduce the debt-to-equity ratio of the company. The investors may also be benefitted by such conversion, as they can earn more from such converted shares. This process is referred to as induced conversion.
Detachable Stock Purchase Warrants
A stock warrant gives the buyer an option to acquire a declared number of shares of common stock at a specific option price within a particular time period.
