Convertible bonds what happen to option

Ppagermm11y ago
eg. A co issues 2000 convertible bonds at the start of 20x2. The bonds have 3 year term. And are issued at par with face value $1000 per bond , giving total proceeds of $2,000,000. Interest is payable annually in arrears at a nominal annual interest rate of 6%. Each bond is convertible at any time up to maturity into 250 common shares. When bonds are issued, the prevailing market interest rate for similar debt without conversion options is 9%. At the issue date, the market price of one common share is $3. Debt 9%discount 120*0.917+120*0.842+2120*0.772= 1848. Equity= 2000-1848=152 On issue: Dr bank 2000 Cr NCL 1848 Cr Equity- option reserve 152 ( I understand,but can't understand the following) what happen to option( after 3 years) 1. if share price is $3. Redeem the debt. not convert Dr convertible debt 2000 Cr Bank 2000 Dr option reserve 152 Cr Acc profit 152 2. if share price is $5 , convert Dr convertible debt 2000 Dr option 152 Cr Share capital 2152 Can you help me to understand this two options' double entry? I mean, if not convert, all paid in cash. why still have dr option reserve, cr acc profit? if convert, all debt part 1848 also convert to shares? Thank you.

Because we can recognize the maturity of the option reserve by recycling into accumulated profits Yes, all debt converted into shares Is that enough for you?

Because we have unrolled the discounted payments attributable to the bond - we are now showing an obligation of $2,000 and an option reserve of $152, all of which is converted into shares Again, because in the process of unwinding discount, the obligation is being carried at $2,000 Ok?
