Answer:

Date        Particulars                                         Debit              Credit

1 May 20   Cash                                                  $2,040,000

                (2000000*1.02)

                Discount on bonds payable              $40,000

                (2000000*(1-0.98)

                      Bonds payable                                                    $2,000,000

                      (2000*$1000)

                      Paid in capital-stock warranties                         $80,000

                      (2000000*(20000000*0.98)

b. Fair value of bonds = 2000000*0.98 = 1960000

Fair value of warrants = 2000*30= 60000

Fair value = 2020000

Allocated to bonds = 1960000/2020000*2040000 = 1940594

Allocated to warrants = 6000/2020000*2040000 = 60594
