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.)

Accounting

(a) Prepare the journal entry Garner would have made on January 1, 2016, to record the issuance of the bonds.

(b) Garner’s net income in 2017 was \)30,000 and was \(27,000 in 2016. Compute basic and diluted earnings per share for Garner for 2017 and 2016.

(c) Assume that 75% of the holders of Garner’s convertible bonds convert their bonds to stock on June 30, 2018, when Garner’s stock is trading at \)32 per share. Garner pays $50 per bond to induce bondholders to convert. Prepare the journal entry to record the conversion.

Analysis

Show how Garner will report income and EPS for 2017 and 2016. Briefly discuss the importance of GAAP for EPS to analysts evaluating companies based on price-earnings ratios. Consider comparisons for a company over time, as well as comparisons between companies at a point in time.

Principles

In order to converge GAAP and IFRS, the FASB is considering whether the equity element of a convertible bond should be reported as equity. Describe how the journal entry you made in part (a) above would differ under IFRS. In terms of the accounting principles discussed in Chapter 2, what does IFRS for convertible debt accomplish that GAAP potentially sacrifices? What does GAAP for convertible debt accomplish that IFRS potentially sacrifices?

Archer Inc. issued $4,000,000 par value, 7% convertible bonds at 99 for cash. If the bonds had not included the conversion feature, they would have sold for 95. Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds.

Q1E

Page 874

(Issuance and Conversion of Bonds) For each of the unrelated transactions described below, present the entry(ies) required to record each transaction.

1. Grand Corp. issued \(20,000,000 par value 10% convertible bonds at 99. If the bonds had not been convertible, the company’s investment banker estimates they would have been sold at 95.

2. Hoosier Company issued \)20,000,000 par value 10% bonds at 98. One detachable stock purchase warrant was issued with each \(100 par value bond. At the time of issuance, the warrants were selling for \)4.

3. Suppose Sepracor, Inc. called its convertible debt in 2017. Assume the following related to the transaction. The 11%, \(10,000,000 par value bonds were converted into 1,000,000 shares of \)1 par value common stock on July 1, 2017. On July 1, there was \(55,000 of unamortized discount applicable to the bonds, and the company paid an additional \)75,000 to the bondholders to induce conversion of all the bonds. The company records the conversion using the book value method.

Financial Statement Analysis Case

Ragatz, Inc.

Ragatz, Inc., a drug company, reported the following information. The company prepares its financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

2017 (000)

Current liabilities

\(554,114

Convertible subordinated debts

648,020

Total liabilities

1,228,313

Stockholder’s equity

176,413

Net income

58,333

Analysts attempting to compare Ragatz to drug companies that issue debt with detachable warrants may face a challenge due to differences in accounting for convertible debt.

Instructions

(a) Compute the following ratios for Ragatz, Inc. (Assume that year-end balances approximate annual averages.)

(1) Return on assets.

(2) Return on common stock equity.

(3) Debt to assets ratio.

(b) Briefly discuss the operating performance and financial position of Ragatz. Industry averages for these ratios in 2017 were ROA 3.5%; return on equity 16%; and debt to assets 75%. Based on this analysis, would you make an investment in the company’s 5% convertible bonds? Explain.

(c) Assume you want to compare Ragatz to an IFRS company like Merck (which issues nonconvertible debt with detachable warrants). Assuming that the fair value of the equity component of Ragatz’s convertible bonds is \)150,000, how would you adjust the analysis above to make valid comparisons between Ragatz and Merck?

GROUPWORK (Entries for Various Dilutive Securities) The stockholders’ equity section of Martino Inc. at the beginning of the current year appears below.

Common stock, \(10 par value, authorized 1,000,000

shares, 300,000 shares issued and outstanding \)3,000,000

Paid-in capital in excess of par—common stock 600,000

Retained earnings 570,000

During the current year, the following transactions occurred.

1. The company issued to the stockholders 100,000 rights. Ten rights are needed to buy one share of stock at \(32. The rights were void after 30 days. The market price of the stock at this time was \)34 per share.

2. The company sold to the public a \(200,000, 10% bond issue at 104. The company also issued with each \)100 bond one detachable stock purchase warrant, which provided for the purchase of common stock at \(30 per share. Shortly after issuance, similar bonds without warrants were selling at 96 and the warrants at \)8.

3. All but 5,000 of the rights issued in (1) were exercised in 30 days.

4. At the end of the year, 80% of the warrants in (2) had been exercised, and the remaining were outstanding and in good standing.

5. During the current year, the company granted stock options for 10,000 shares of common stock to company executives.

The company, using a fair value option-pricing model, determines that each option is worth \(10. The option price is \)30.

The options were to expire at year-end and were considered compensation for the current year.

6. All but 1,000 shares related to the stock-option plan were exercised by year-end. The expiration resulted because one of the executives failed to fulfill an obligation related to the employment contract.

Instructions

(a) Prepare general journal entries for the current year to record the transactions listed above.

(b) Prepare the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet at the end of the current year. Assume that retained earnings

at the end of the current year is $750,000.
