Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Issue of 10-year 8% Convertible Debentures at 102 = $3,814,800 (Cash)

Debenture premium $74,800

Half-yearly premium amortization = $74,800/20 = $3,740

Face value = $3,740,000

b) Interest on Debenture = $3,740,000 * 8% * 1/2 = $149,600

c) $374,000 debentures converted into 8 shares for every $1,000.

= $374,000/1,000 * 8 = 2,992 shares at $100 par value

d) Interest on Debentures ($3,740,000 - $374,000) * 8% * 1/4

= $3,366,000 * 8% * 1/4 = $67,320

Plus

$3,366,000 - $374,000 * 8% * 1/4 = $59,840

Total interest = $127,160
