The journal entry is shown below:

Bonds payable A/c Dr $198,000

Premium on bonds payable A/c Dr $3,600

To Common stock A/c $96,000

To Paid in capital in excess of par - Common stock A/c $105,600

(Being the conversion of bonds is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

For Common stock:

= 4,800 shares * $20

= $96,000

And, the remaining balance is credited to paid in capital in excess of par
