2. Prepare the journal entry for the first installment payment on November 30, 2021.
3. What is the amount of interest expense that LCD will report in its income statement for the year ended December 31, 2021?

Answer 1

Based on the details given by LCD Industries such as the amount of the note and the interest rate, the journal entries are:

Date               Account title                         Debit                       Credit

Nov. 1 2021    Inventory                       $24,000,000

                      Note payable                                                   $24,000,000

Nov. 30, 2021 Interest expense                $240,000

                       Note payable                      $1,892,366.66

                       Cash                                                              $2,132,366.66

Amount of interest to be reported in income statement = $481,076.33.

What are the journal entries?

Inventory will be debited with the payment amount of $24 million. This amount will also be credited to the Note payable account.

The interest expense will be:

= 24,000,000 x 12% x 1/12 months

= $240,000

Cash payment:

= Amount / Present value interest factor of annuity, 1 year, 12%

= 24,000,000 /  11.2551

= $2,132,366.66

What is the amount of interest to be reported in the income statement?

= Interest expense in November + (Note amount - note payable for November ) x 1%

= 260,000 + (24,000,000 - 1,892,366.66) x 1%

= $481,076.33
