Problem 14–23
Requirement 1
At January 1, the book value of the bonds was the initial issue price, $331,364.
The liability, though, was increased by three months’ interest that has accrued for the
quarter but has not been paid. This is recorded in an adjusting entry in preparation for
the quarterly financials:
Interest expense (5% x $331,364 x 3/6) 8,284
Problem 14–23 (continued)
Requirement 2
If the fair value on March 31 is $350,000, Appling needs to compare that amount
with the amortized initial measurement on that date. That amount was increased when
Appling recorded interest on June 30:
Interest expense (5% x $331,364* x 3/6) 8,284
14–106 Intermediate Accounting, 8/e
Problem 14–23 (continued)
Requirement 3
If the fair value on June 30 is $340,000, Appling needs to compare that amount
with the amortized initial measurement on that date. That amount, though, has
increased by three months’ interest that has accrued for the quarter but has not been
paid. This is recorded in an adjusting entry in preparation for the quarterly financials:
Interest expense (5% x [$331,364 + 284 + 284] x 3/6) 8,298
Discount on bonds payable (difference) 298
Problem 14–23 (continued)
Requirement 4
If the fair value on December 31 is $342,000, Appling needs to compare that
amount with the amortized initial measurement on that date. That amount was
increased when Appling recorded interest on December 31:
Interest expense (5% x [$331,364 + 284 + 284] x 3/6) 8,298
14–108 Intermediate Accounting, 8/e
Problem 14–23 (continued)
Appling’s 2016 statement of comprehensive income will include the interest
expense for all four quarters as well as the gains and losses (OCI) from adjusting to
fair value:
Interest expense, 1st quarter $ 8,284
The same result can be reached by comparing fair values at the beginning and end
of the year and including semiannual interest amounts rather than quarter-by-quarter:
If the fair value on December 31 is $342,000, Appling needs to compare that
amount with the amortized initial measurement on that date. The liability, though,
was increased when Appling recorded interest on June 30 and December 31:

Appling would record the $9,471 loss as OCI in the 2016 statement of
comprehensive income:

Suggested Grading Concepts and Grading Scheme:
Content (80%)
20 Convertible bonds
Entire proceeds of the bond issue should be allocated to the debt
and the related premium or discount accounts.
20 Bonds with detachable warrants
Proceeds should be allocated between debt and warrants.
Basis of allocation is their relative fair values.
Relative values are usually determined by the price at which the
respective instruments are traded in the open market.
Portion of the proceeds assigned to the warrants
should be accounted for as equity.
20 Reasons why all the proceeds of convertible bonds
should be allocated to the debt
The option is inseparable from the debt: no way to
retain one right while selling the other.
The valuation presents practical problems: would be subjective.
20 Arguments that accounting for convertible debt should be the same as
for debt issued with detachable stock purchase warrants
Convertible debt has features of both debt and shareholders’
equity, and separate recognition should be given to the
fundamental elements at the time of issuance.
Difficulties in separating the relative values of the
features are not insurmountable.
