On January $1,2024,$ when its $$30$ par value common stock was selling for $$80$ per share, Whispering Corp. issued $$11,100,000$ of $8\%$

convertible debentures due in $20$ years. The conversion option allowed the holder of each $$1,000$ bond to convert the bond into five

shares of the corporation's common stock. The debentures were issued for $$11,988,000.$ The present value of the bond payments at

the time of issuance was $$9,435,000,$ and the corporation believes the difference between the present value and the amount paid is

attributable to the conversion feature. On January $1,2025,$ the corporation's $$30$ par value common stock was split $2$ for $1,$ and the

conversion rate for the bonds was adjusted accordingly. On January $1,2026,$ when the corporation's $$15$ par value common stock was

selling for $$135$ per share, holders of $30\%$ of the convertible debentures exercised their conversion options. The corporation uses the

straight$-$line method for amortizing any bond discounts or premiums.
