Briefly Explain Bonds With Convertible Features. How Do We Account For Bonds Which Can Be Converted To Shares? Prepare Proforma Journal Entries

Convertible bonds can be converted into a fixed number of shares at maturity at the bondholder's discretion. They have characteristics of both debt and equity. To account for them, the debt and equity portions are tracked separately. If converted, bonds payable and premium are credited and share capital and premium are debited. If not converted at maturity, bonds are repaid with cash. If repurchased before maturity, bonds payable and premium are credited, a loss is recorded, and cash is debited.

3. Briefly explain Bonds with convertible features.

How do we account for bonds which can


be converted to shares? Prepare proforma journal entries.

Convertible Bonds entitle the bondholders to convert their bonds into a fixed number of
shares of the issuing company, usually at the time of their maturity. Thus, convertible bonds
have features of both equity as well as liability. Convertible notes do not mandate conversion.
They give an option to the bondholders at the time of conversion, and it is on their discretion
whether they want to convert and get equity shares or opt-out and get cash against these
bonds. Since the convertible bonds have features of both liability (debt) as well as equity, it
makes more sense to account for the liability portion and equity portion separately.
Convertible Bonds entitle bondholders to convert their bonds into a fixed number of
shares of the issuing company usually at the time of their maturity. Convertible bonds are a
type of compound financial instrument with characteristics of both liability and equity.
