I'm doing a project right now, I had to record a journal entry for:
a. On August 31, 2012, Harvest issued $1,000,000 worth of 10-year, 4% convertible bonds at par. On the date of the sale, the market rate of interest was 6%. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 20 shares of common stock. Interest will be paid on February 28 and August 31 of each year beginning on February 28, 2013.
sinced its issued at par, in accordance to GAAP it would be
Cash 1,000,000
Convertible Bonds Payable 1,000,000
Then I have to explain how it would be different under IFRS, My teacher told me that under IFRS there would be a discount? How? if its issued at par.
I don't know how to calculate the equity conversion option
I hope that accountant cat reads this
