| Proceeds from an issue of debt securities having stock warrants should not be allocated between debt and equity features when? | Warrants issued with the debt securities are non detachable |
| issuers may use "sweetener" to | induce conversion of stock. The issuing company reports the sweetener as an expense of the current period. |
| Companies need to recognize a gain or loss on retiring convertible debt in the same way that they recognize a gain or loss | on retiring nonconvertible debt. |

| How many situations arises where issuance of warrants or options to buy additional shares normally occurs | 3 |
| the two methods for alloocation of fair value for detachable warrants are | 1. Proportional method 2. the Incremental method |
| Proportional Method | a value must be placed on the bonds without the warrants and then on the warrants. |
| The FASB stated that the features of a convertible security are inseparable in the sense that choices are mutually exclusive. The holder either converts the bonds or redeems them for cash, but cannot do both. | true |
| Stock right (preemptive privilege) | saves existing stockholders from suffering a dilution of voting rights without their consent. Can allow them to purchase stock somewhat below fair value. |
| The certificate representing the stock right states the number of shares the holder of the right may purchase. | |

| Features of a non compensatory stock option plan | Substantially all full-time employees may participate on an equitable basis. Discount from the market price of the stock no greater than would be reasonable in an offer of stock to stockholders or others. |

| GAAP requires companies to recognize compensation cost using the fair vale method. | true |
| FASB's position is that companies should base the accounting for cost of employee services on the fair value of compensation paid . | this amount is presumed to be a measure of the value of the services received. |
| Service period | time or period employee preforms service. |
| Unless other wise specified the service period is | the vesting period. |
| Vested | means to earn the rights to. |

| Major advantages of restricted stock plans are | 1. never becomes completely worthless 2. generally results in less dilution to existing stockholders. 3. they better align employee incentives with companies incentives. |
| Restricted stock is more of an incentive because | is essentially a stockholder and should be more interested i long-term objectives of company |

| Preferred Dividends whether declared or cumulative must be deducted from net | Income to determine Earnings per share. |
| When stock Dividends and stock splits occur companies should | restate the shares outstanding before stock dividend or split, in order to compute weighted average number per shares. |
| Antidilutive Securities | Securities which upon conversion or exercise increase earnings per share (or reduce the loss per share) |
| Book value approach | A method used for determining the issue price of stock when bonds are converted into stock which records the stock issued using the book value of the bonds at the issue date. |

| Dilutives Securities examples | convertible bonds, convertible preferred stocks stock warrants and contingent shares. |
| Earnings per share | the income earned by each share of common stock. |
| Grant date | the date someone receives stock options |
| If-converted method | the method used to measure the dilutive effect of convertible securities which assumes (1) the conversion of the convertible securities begins at the beginning of the period |
| If-converted method | or at time of issuance of the security, if issued during the period, and (2) the elimination of interest, net of tax or preferred dividend. |

| Restricted-stock plans | Stock plans that transfer shares of stock to employees, subject to an agreement that the shares cannot be sold, transferred or pledged until vesting occurs. |
| ! Convertible bonds are usually convertible into a specified number of | Common shares |
| In computing earnings per share for a simple capital structure | an amount equal to the dividend that should have been declared for the current year only is subtracted from net income |
| In the diluted earnings per share computation, the treasury stock method is used for options and warrants to reflect assumed reacquisition of common stock at the average market price during the period. | If the exercise price of the options or warrants exceeds the average market price, the computation would be antidilutive |

| Non detachable warrants do not require an allocation of the proceeds between the bonds and the warrants | True |
| The FASB requires recognition of compensation cost using the fair value method. | True |
| Using fair value method, total compensation expense is computed based on the fair value of the options expected to | vest on the date the options are granted to the employees. True |
| Under the fair value method total compensation cost is computed based on the fair value of the options expected | to vest on the date the options are granted to the employee |
| The measurement date is the first date on which are know both | (1) the number of shares that an individual employee is entitled to receive and (2)the option or purchase price if any |
| In general under the fair value method compensation expense is recognized in | the periods in which the employee preforms the service - the service period. |
