On January 1, 2020, Pearl Corporation issued a series of 100 convertible bonds, maturing

in 5 years. The face amount of each bond was $500. Pearl received $50,900 for the bond

issue. The bonds paid interest every December 31 at 4%; the market interest rate for bonds

with a comparable level of risk was 3.80%. The bonds were convertible to common shares at

a rate of 12 common shares per bond. Pearl amortized bond premiums and discounts using

the effective interest method, and the companys year-end was December 31.

On January 1, 2021, 20 of the bonds were converted into common shares. On June 30,

2021, another 20 bonds were converted into common shares. The bondholders chose to

forfeit the accrued interest on these bonds.

On January 1, 2022, when the fair value of the bonds was $30,440 due to a decrease in

market interest rates, a conversion inducement of $28/bond was offered to the remaining

bondholders to convert their bonds to common shares. All of the remaining 60 bonds were

converted into common shares at this time.

Prepare all required journal entries to record the above transactions (Hint: dont forget to

accrue interest and amortize the premium on the bond at year-end). (Round intermediate

calculations to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and the final answer to 0 decimal places

e.g. 58,971. Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is

entered. Do not indent manually.)
