Answer 1

Solution as seen below

Step-by-step explanation:

Bond = 1,700 × $1,000 × 98%

= $1,666,000

Allocation :

Issue price $1,751,000

(1,700 × $1,000 × 103%)

Bonds ( $1,666,000 )

Warrants $85,000

($1,751,000 - $1,666,000)

Bond face value $1,700,000

(1,700 × $1,000)

Allocated FMV ($1,666,000)

Discounts $34,000

($1,700,000 - $1,666,000)
