    Dr bonds payable $3,000,000

    Cr common stock $1,000,000

    Cr paid in capital in excess of par val.-common stock ($3m-$1m) $2,000,000

    Explanation:

    The conversion means that the bonds payable account is debited since the obligation has now been settled by a way of giving common stock in lieu.

    The credit entries would comprise of par value of the conversion which is $1 par value multiplied by number of common stock of 1,000,000 which gives $1,000,000 while the remaining balance is credited to paid-in capital in excess-common stock
