Question 1: 20% points:

On January 1, 2015, Bravo issued $400,000 of 6% bonds. The bonds were issued at
98 and pay interest semiannually on July 1 and December 31 each year.

On September 1, 2015, Bravo issued for $530,000 cash, 500 7% five-year
nonconvertible bonds dated September 1, 2015. Each $1,000 bond had a detachable
stock purchase warrant to purchase
20 shares of $3 par value stock for $10 per share. Immediately after issuance, the
warrants had a market value of $45,000, and the bonds were selling at 102 without
the warrant.

On January 1, 2011, Bravo issued 100 ten-year convertible bonds. Each $1,000 bond
is convertible into 20 shares of Bravo’s $10 par value common stock. The bonds
were issued at 105 when the common stock traded for $40 per share. The bonds pay
interest annually. The conversion features of the bond are not beneficial. On
October 1, 2015, half of the bonds were tendered for conversion when the common
stock was trading at $62 per share. Bravo uses the book value method to account for
the conversion. At the time of conversion, the bonds had a carrying value of
$104,300. Bravo does not elect the fair value option for reporting these financial
liabilities.

Prepare the journal entries for the bond transactions during 2015.

2.   September 1, 2015 Issue bonds with detachable warrants

Question 4: 20% points:

Warren Buffet, an investor in Alpha Co., asked you for advice on the propriety of
Alpha’s financial reporting for two of its investments. Assume that Alpha does not
elect the fair value option for reporting its financial assets and liabilities. You
obtained the following information related to the investments from Alpha’s
December 31, 2015 financial statements:
> 20% ownership interest in Beta Co., represented by 200,000 shares of
outstanding common stock purchased on January 2, 2015, for $600,000.
> 20% ownership interest in Charlie Co., represented by 20,000 shares of
outstanding common stock purchased on January 2, 2015, for $300,000.
> On January 2, 2015, the carrying values of the acquired shares of both
investments equaled their purchase price.
> Beta reported earnings of $400,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015,
and declared and paid dividends of $100,000 on 12/15/2015.
> Charlie reported earnings of $350,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015,
and declared and paid dividends of $60,000 on 12/15/2015.
> On December 31, 2015, Beta’s and Charlie’s common stock were trading
over-the-counter at $18 and $20 per share, respectively.
> The investment in Charlie is accounted for using the equity method.
> The investment in Beta is accounted for as available-for-sale securities.
You recalculated the amounts reported in Alpha’s December 31, 2015 financial
statements, and determined that they were correct. Stressing that the information
available in the financial statements was limited, you advised Warren that,
assuming Alpha properly applied generally accepted accounting principles, Alpha
may have appropriately used two different methods to account for its investments in
Beta and Charlie, even though the investments represent equal ownership interests.

Prepare the general journal entries for the following:
 
1. Alpha’s investment in Charlie Co. on January 2, 2015.
2. Dividends received from Charlie in 2015.
3. Required for Charlie’s reported income for the year ending on December 31,
2015.
4. Alpha’s investment in Beta Co. on January 2, 2015.
5. Dividends received from Beta in 2015.
6. Required for Beta’s reported income for the year ending on December 31,
2015
