$6,000,000 4% Bonds issued @104 on 1/1/17.

Interest is paid every six months 6/30 & 12/31.

Premium is amortized on a straight-line basis.

On 1/1/19 $600,000 of bonds are converted: $600,000/$1,000 = 600 x 8 = 4,800 shares.

On 3/31/19 an additional $600,000 of bonds are converted: $600,000/$1,000 = 600 x 8 = 4,800 shares.

a. December 31, 2018

b. January 1, 2019
