The prevailing rate of interest for a note of this type at January 1, 2020 was 10%. The present value of $1 at 10% for three periods is 0.75. Hat Trick Manufacturing included __ as interest revenue on the 2021 income statement.

Answer 1

Answer:

61,198.47

Explanation:

First we solve for the present value of the note receivables at January 1st, 2021 As we are asked for the interest revenue on the 2021 incoem statment

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$  

Maturity  $750,000.00

time  2.00

rate  0.10000

$\frac{750000}{(1 + 0.1)^{2} } = PV$  

PV   619,834.7107

now, we calcualte the interest considering the 10% implicit interest

619,834.7107  x 0.10 = 61,198.47

This will be the interest revenu for the year 2021
