Streamland SA started producing a new mini series featuring super heroes with useless powers. The management board considered various financing options. The CFO, Sam Yang, suggested to issue convertible bonds, an instrument that had not been used by the company before. The other board members were hesitant at first but eventually agreed that convertible bonds were the best option to finance this production. Therefore, Streamland SA issued €18,000,000 of 8%, 5-year convertible bonds on January 1, 2020, at 95 with interest payable on December 31. Each of the 18,000 €1,000 bonds is convertible into 10 ordinary shares (par value of €1). Using the prevailing market interest rates at the issuance date for similar non-convertible bonds, the bonds would have been sold at 90. Any bond premium or discount is amortized annually using the effective-interest method.

At maturity, the bond has been repurchased. Prepare the schedule of bond amortization for the convertible bonds for all years (2020 to 2024) and the journal entry(ies) for the last year of the bond schedule. (15p)

but how do i know the market interest rate?

The condensed income statement for the Oriole and Paul partnership for 2020 is as follows.

Oriole and Paul Company
Income Statement
For the Year Ended December 31, 2020

Sales (300,000 units) $1,500,000
Cost of goods sold 960,000
Gross profit 540,000
Operating expenses
Selling $350,000
Administrative 232,500
582,500
Net loss $(42,500 )


A cost behavior analysis indicates that 75% of the cost of goods sold are variable, 42% of the selling expenses are variable, and 40% of the administrative expenses are variable.

Oriole has proposed a plan to get the partnership “out of the red” and improve its profitability. She feels that the quality of the product could be substantially improved by spending $0.25 more per unit on better raw materials. The selling price per unit could be increased to only $5.25 because of competitive pressures. Oriole estimates that sales volume will increase by 25%. What effect would Oriole’s plan have on the profits and the break-even point in dollars of the partnership? (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places, e.g. 15.2515 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,520.)

Today, we are in 2020. Management is in the process of deciding whether to expand or not to expand the firm’s branches. Below, is a set of inputs associated with each scenario:

Scenario #1 – Do Not Expand: Dividend by the end of 2020 is expected to grow at the historical annual growth rate for the period 2015−2019, which is currently undetermined. This period adds up to four years based upon starting at time zero. Once determined, this rate is expected to continue in the future. Under this scenario, the required return on common stock is 14.36%.

Scenario #2 – Expand: Dividend in 2021 is expected to be $2.13 per share, which will grow at an annual rate of 14.12% for two years (2022 and 2023), and then, the dividend would grow at the same unknown rate in the first scenario from 2024 thereafter. Under this scenario, the required return on common stock is 17.58%.

Required: What is the dollar difference in the present value per share of common stock between both scenarios?
