    The amount credited to common stock upon conversion of the bonds is $101000

    Explanation:

    When the bond was issued there would been a debit of $102000 ($100000*$102/$100) to cash account and credit of $102000 to liabilities split into $100000 bonds payable and $2000 bond premium.

    However, on conversion to common stock with premium of $1000 outstanding in the books, the amount to be credited into common stock account is the issue value less outstanding premium.

    The amount credited to common stock=$102000-$1000=$101000

    This can be shown with entries below:

    Dr Bond payable $100000

    Dr Bond premium $1000

    Cr Common stock $101000
