On September 30, 2011, Gargiola Inc. issued $4 million of 10-year, 8%, convertible bonds for $4.6 million.

Question:

On September 30, 2011, Gargiola Inc. issued $4 million of 10-year, 8%, convertible bonds for $4.6 million. The bonds pay interest on March 31 and September 30 and mature on September 30, 2021. Each $1,000 bond can be converted into 80 no common shares. In addition, each bond included 20 detachable warrants. Each warrant can be used to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $15. Immediately after the bond issuance, the warrants traded at $3 each. Without the warrants and the conversion rights, the bonds would have been expected to sell for $4.3 million. The proceeds from the issuance of the bonds with conversion rights and with the detachable warrants included the following:
Gross proceeds .........$4,700,000
Underwriting fees ....... 100,000
Net proceeds ..........$4,600,000
Gargiola Inc. adopted the policy of capitalizing and amortizing the underwriting fees with the bonds’ premium, which is accounted for using the effective interest method.
On March 23, 2014, half of the warrants were exercised. The common shares of Gargiola Inc. were trading at $20 each on this day.
Immediately after the payment of interest on the bonds, on September 30, 2016, all bonds outstanding were converted into common shares. Assume the entity follows IFRS.
