Computation of the paid-in capital from stock warrants is:
Paid-in capital from stock warrants = (Value of detachable stock warrants / Value of issued bonds at par value) * Value of bonds at a premium
= ($64,800 / $1,620,000) * $1,168,600
= $46,744
Hence, the paid-in capital from stock warrants is $46,744. So, the amount is credited by $46,744.
Working Notes:
1.
Computation of the number of issued bonds is:
Number of issued bonds = Value of issued bonds at par value / Value of each bond attached
= $1,620,000 / $1,000
= 1,620 bonds
Hence, the number of issued bonds is 1,620 bonds.
2.
Computation of the value of detachable stock warrants is:
Value of detachable stock warrants = Number of issued bonds * Number of detachable stock warrants * Fair value of warrants
= 1,620 * 20 * $2
= $64,800
Hence, the value of detachable stock warrants is $64,800.
3.
Computation of the value of bonds at a premium is:
Value of bonds at a premium = (Value of issued bonds at par value / Par value of bond) * Premium value of a bond
= ($1,620,000 / $100) * $103
= $1,168,600
Hence, the value of bonds at a premium is $1,168,600.
