Calculation for for BONDS CONVERTED

First step is to calculate the amortization for 2013

Amortization for 2013=$10,000,000/20

Amortization for 2013=$500,000

Second step is to calculate the amortization for 2014

Amortization for 2014=$10,000,000/20

Amortization for 2014=$500,000

Third step is to Calculate the premium on bonds payable

Premium on bonds payable=$10,000,000−($500,000+$500,000)

Premium on bonds payable=$9,000,000

Now let calculate the bonds converted

Bonds converted=$9,000,000×30/100

Bonds converted=$2,700,000

Calculation for COMMON STOCK

First step is to calculate the number of bonds

Number of bonds=$10,000,000/1000

Number of bonds=10,000

Second step is to calculate Price for the bond

Price for the bond=10,000×5

Price for the bond=50,000

Third step is to Calculate for Stock Split

Stock Split=50,000/2

Stock Split=25,000

Now let calculate the common stock

Common stock=25,000×30/100

Common stock=7,500

Calculation for BONDS PAYABLE

Bonds Payable=10,000,000×30/100

Bonds Payable=3,000,000

my own answer is 7500x30=225000
