    Please, i have gone through where i made some mistakes but could you assist me as to where the convertible option figure become 424k.

    The answer says As the full amount of $8m has been taken to liabilities , adjustment required is;

    Dr Liability $424k
    Cr Equity $424k.

    Hi,

    For convertible debt we use split accounting, so recognise both debt and equity on initial recognition. As the full amount of $8m has been recognised as debt, which is incorrect, then the $424k needs to be removed from liabilities and correctly shown as equity.

    Thanks

    The amount recognised in equity is the difference between the proceeds and the amount recognised as a liability, which is the present value of the cash flows, discounted at the rate of interest assuming that it was a 100% loan.

    Thanks
