2 Solution :- D. $0
Explanation : The amount of gain or loss to be recorded on redemption of bonds is $0
The journal entry to record the conversion of the bond into common stock is as follows:
Bonds Payable $1000
Premium on bonds payable $40
Common stock ($3 × 200) $600
Paid-in-capital in excess of par common $440
And no gain or loss is recorded.
3 Solution : D. Bonds Payable $500,000
Debt conversion expense $45,000
Common stock $50,000
Paid-in-capital in excess of par common $450,000
Cash $45,000
The amount of $45,000 is recorded as an expense in the period in which the conversion took place and is not recorded as a reduction in equity capital.
This amount of $45,000 is not a loss because the company in itself voluntarily offerred the inducement to cause conversion.
