    B) $8 million.

    Explanation:

    There are $80 worth of convertible bonds, since half of them were converted to common stocks = $80 million x 50% = $40 million

    Common stock = 6 million shares x 50% x $10 (par value) = $30 million

    Unamortized balance in bond discount = $4 million x 50% = $2 million

    Additional paid-in capital = convertible bonds - common stock - unamortized bond discount = $40 million - $30 million - $2 million = $8 million

    June 30, 2013, Bond convertion:

    Dr Bonds payable 40,000,000

    Cr Common stock 30,000,000

    Cr Discount on bonds payable 2,000,000

    Cr Additional paid-in capital in excess of par value 8,000,000
