THIS IS ALL THE INFO THERE IS FOR THE QUESTION, NO OTHER INFO WAS PROVIDED.

Sunland Inc., a publicly accountable enterprise that reports in accordance with IFRS, issued convertible bonds for the first time on January 1, 2020. The $1 million of six-year, 10% (payable annually on December 31, starting December 31, 2020), convertible bonds were issued at 107. The bonds would have been issued at 97 without a conversion feature, and yielded a higher rate of return. The bonds are convertible at the investors option. The companys bookkeeper recorded the bonds at 107 and, based on the $1,070,000 bond carrying value, recorded interest expense using the effective interest method for 2020. He prepared the following amortization table, believing that the yield was 7%:

Cash Interest Effective Interest Premium Carrying Amount
Date (10%) (7%) Amortization of Bonds
Jan. 1, 2020 $1,070,000
Dec. 31, 2020 $100,000 $74,900 $25,100 1,044,900

You were hired as an accountant to replace the bookkeeper in November 2021. It is now December 31, 2021, the companys year end, and the CEO is concerned that the companys debt covenant may be breached. The debt covenant requires Sunland to maintain a maximum debt to equity ratio of 2.3. Based on the current financial statements, the debt to equity ratio would be 2.6. The CEO recalls hearing that convertible bonds should be reported by separating out the liability and equity components, yet he does not see any equity amounts related to the bonds on the current financial statements. He has asked you to look into the bond transactions recorded and make any necessary adjustments. He would also like you to explain how any adjustments that you make affect the debt to equity ratio.

QUESTIONS:

A) Determine the amount that should have been reported in the equity section of the statement of financial position at January 1, 2020, for the conversion right, considering that the company must comply with IFRS.

B) Prepare the journal entry that should have been recorded on January 1, 2020.

C) Using (1) a financial calculator or (2) Excel functions, calculate the effective rate (yield rate) for the bond

D) Prepare a bond amortization schedule from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2024, using the effective interest method and the corrected value for the bonds. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
