On December 1, 20X1, Money Co. gave Home Co. a $200,000, 11% loan. Money paid proceeds of $194,000 after the deduction of a $6,000 nonrefundable loan origination fee. Principal and interest are due in 60 monthly installments of $4,310, beginning January 1, 20X2. The repayments yield an effective interest rate of 11% at a present value of $200,000 and 12.4% at a present value of $194,000. What amount of income from this loan should Money report in its 20X1 income statement?A. $0B. $1,833C. $2,005D. $7,833

Answer 1

Answer: (C.) $2,005

Explanation:

Given :

Money Co. made a cash outflow of $194,000 for the $200,000 loan Money gave to Home Co.  

The book value of the loan is $194,000.

The stated rate is 11%.

Hence they will receive an effective interest rate of 12.4% on cash outflow.  

∴

Income from the loan = Book value × Effective interest rate × No. of months of the year

= $194,000 × 0.124 × $\frac{1}{2}$

= $2,004.67
