SOLUTIONS TO QUIZ 2:

1. B
Solution:
EFFECT ON DECEMBER 31, 20X1:
Using straight line method:
Discount on bonds - 1/2/x1 150,000
Divide by: Term 6
Annual amortization of discount 25,000

Discount on bonds - 1/2/x1 150,000

Amortization - 20x1 (25,000)
Discount on bonds - 12/31/x1 125,000

Face amount 1,000,000

Discount on bonds - 12/31/x1 (125,000)
Carrying amount - 12/31/x1 875,000

Using effective interest method:

Date Interest expense Payments Amortization Present Value
1/2/x1 850,000
12/31/x1 102,000 80,000 22,000 872,000

Carrying amounts - 12/31/x1:

Straight line (erroneous) 875,000
Effective interest method 872,000
Difference - overstatement (3,000)

EFFECT ON JANUARY 2, 20X7:

On January 2, 20x7, maturity date, there will be NO EFFECT of the error on the carrying amount of the
bonds because on this date, the discount would have been fully amortized under both the straight line
method and the effective interest method.

2. B
Solution:
Carrying amount of bonds converted 1,300,000
Par value of shares issued (50,000 x 1) (50,000)
Share premium 1,250,000

3. D – No gain or loss is recognized when convertible bonds are converted into equity instrument.

4. C
Solution:
Fair value of bonds without the warrants 196,000
Face amount of bonds 200,000
Discount on bonds (4,000)

5. B
 Page |6

Solution:
Redemption price (5M x 98%) 4,900,000
Less: Carrying amount of bonds:
Face amount 5,000,000
Unamortized premium 30,000
Unamortized issue costs (50,000) 4,980,000
Gain on retirement 80,000

6. A
Solution:
Redemption price (600 x 1,000 x 102%) 612,000
Less: Carrying amount of bonds:
Face amount (600 x 1,000) 600,000
Unamortized premium 65,000 665,000
Gain on retirement 53,000

7. D
Solution:
Payment for the liability:
Cash 50,000
Carrying amount of investment securities 375,000 425,000
Carrying amount of liability settled:
Principal 500,000
Accrued interest 75,000 575,000
Gain on settlement 150,000

8. D (185,000 carrying amt. of note - 85,000 carrying amt. of land) = 100,000 gain

9. B (28,000 – 25,000) = 3,000

10. D
Solution:
The modification is analyzed as follows:
Old terms New terms
Principal 1,000,000 950,000
Accrued interest 40,000 30,000
Remaining term ('n') 1 year

The present value of the modified liability is computed as follows:

Future cash flows PV of 1 @10%, n=1 Present value
Principal 950,000 0.90909 863,636
Interest 30,000 0.90909 27,273
Present value of the modified liability 890,908

The difference between the old liability and the new liability is tested for substantiality.
Carrying amount of old liability
1,040,000
(1M principal + 40,000 accrued interest)
Present value of modified liability 890,908
Difference 149,092
 Page |7

Difference 149,092
Divide by: Carrying amount of old liability 1,040,000
14.34%

The modification is considered substantial because the modification resulted to a present value of the
new obligation different by at least 10% of the present value (carrying amount) of old obligation.
Therefore, the old liability is extinguished and the difference of ₱149,092 is recognized as gain on
extinguishment.
