Question

On June 1, 2020, Smith sold equipment to Landing Inc. in exchange for a zero-interest bearing note with a face value of $110,000, with payment due in 12 months. The fair value of the equipment on the date of sale was $100,000.
(a) The amount of revenue to be recognized on this transaction in 2020 is ___________.

Answer 1

Answer:

$100,000 sales revenue and $5,833 interest revenue

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For interest revenue

= (Face value - fair value of the equipment) × number of months ÷ total number of months in a year

= ($110,000 - $100,000) × 7 months ÷ 12 months

= $5,833

The seven months is calculated from June 1 to December 31

And, the fair value of the equipment on the sale date i.e $100,000 is also recognized
