Young Ltd issued 2 000 convertible bonds on 1 January 2015. The bonds have a three year term, and are issued at fair value and a face value of $1000 per bond, giving total proceeds of $2 000 000. Interest is payable annually in arrears at a nominal annual interest rate of 6% per annum. Each bond is convertible at the option of the holder into a fixed number of ordinary shares at any time up to maturity. On 1 January 2015, a market related discount rate for a basic three-year debt instrument for Young Ltd is 10% per annum. On 31 December 2015, it seemed very likely that the holder will exercise his right to convert the bonds into a fixed number of ordinary shares in the next two months. However, by 31 December 2017, the holder had not exercised this right and the bonds were settled in cash by Young Ltd. Required: a) Explain how the convertible bonds are initially recognised, in accordance with IFRS9: Financial Instruments. b) Prepare the journal entries to account for convertible bonds in the financial statements of Young Ltd from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2017. 3:38 pm
