In 2010, Buraka Inc. issued $75,000 of 8% bonds at par, with each $1,000 bond being convertible into 100 common shares. The company had revenues of $17,500 and expenses of $8,400 for 2011, not including interest and taxes (assume a tax rate of 40%). Throughout 2011, 2,000 common shares were outstanding, and none of the bonds were converted or redeemed. (For simplicity, assume that the convertible bonds’ equity element is not recorded.)
