My question is regarding the remaining journal entry
I would like to know since we are calling back half the bonds ($250,000) of the original $500,000 and converting the other half of the bonds into common shares. Would I have to take the amount of the remaining discount ($22,400) and divide it in half? or would the whole premium be credited for the bonds that are called back?
I hope my question makes sense. If you need me to clarify anything please let me know
