Sun Ltd. has decided to raise additional capital by issuing HK$175,000 face value of bonds with a coupon rate of 10%. In discussions with investment bankers, it was determined that to help the sale of the bonds, share warrants should be issued at the rate of one warrant for each HK$100 bond sold. The fair value of the bonds without the warrants is HK$136,000. The proceeds upon issuance of the bonds and warrants was HK$150,000.
