On July 1, 2018, an interest payment date, $148000 of Bramble Corp. bonds were converted into 2930 shares of Bramble Corp. common stock each having a par value of $45 and a market value of $52. There is $6900 unamortized discount on the bonds. Using the book value method, Bramble would record

There will be a $9,250 increase in paid-in capital in excess of par

Explanation:

Given:

Face value of bonds =$148,000

Unamortized Discount = $6,900

Common stock shares in conversion = $45/value share

Therefore, computed increase to be paid-in capital in excess of par will be given as (Bramble's record):

Book Value of Bonds = (Face Value of Bonds, $148,000) - (Unamortized Discount, $6900) = $141,100;

(Book Value of Bonds, $141,100) - (Value Assigned to Common Stock, $131,850(2930 Common Stock Shares in Conversion x $45 par value per share)) =

=$9,250 increase to Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par.

Note: value assigned to common stock = 2939 * 45 =131850
