E16-28 (L05) (EPS with Warrants) Howat Corporation earned \(360,000 during a period when it had an average of 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The common stock sold at an average market price of \)15 per share during the period. Also outstanding were 15,000 warrants that could be exercised to purchase one share of common stock for $10 for each warrantexercised.

Instructions

(a) Are the warrants dilutive?

(b) Compute basic earnings per share.

(c) Compute diluted earnings per share.

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?

(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.

Eisler Corporation issued 2,000 \(1,000 bonds at 101. Each bond was issued with one detachable stock warrant. After issuance, the bonds were selling in the market at 98, and the warrants had a market price of \)40. Use the proportional method to record the issuance of the bonds and warrants.

Question: Petrenko Corporation has outstanding 2,000 \(1,000 bonds, each convertible into 50 shares of \)10 par value ordinary shares. The bonds are converted on December 31, 2017.
