Question - On May 1, 2016, Cantu Excavating issued $3,960,000 of 11 year, 12%, convertible bonds at 109 plus accrued interest. The bonds paid interest on May 1 and November 1. Cantu Excavating follows ASPE and amortizes its bond premium using the straight-line method. On the same date, non-convertible bonds would have sold at 108 plus accrued interest. On May 1, 2017, $792,000 of the bonds were converted into 30,000 shares.

Enter an appropriate description when entering the transactions in the journal. Dates must be entered in the format dd/mmm (ie. January 15 would be 15/Jan).

Please make sure your final answer(s) are accurate to 2 decimal places.

December 31, 2016: Cantu Excavating's year end.
