Question

Presented below are two independent situations.

Answer 1

Answer: a)Interest expense for Year 2020=$46, 977.50 b) see explanation column

Explanation:

a) Amount of Note payable =  $550,000

Present Value  factor for 3 years at 12%

= PV = 1/(1+r) ^n  

1/ (1+ 12%)^3 =(0.892857143)^ 3 =  0.71178

Present value of Note for land at 2020 = $550,000  x  0.71176 = $391, 479

.136

Interest expense for Year 2020= $391, 479.136  x  12%= $46, 977.50

b) Face value of note = $5,000,000

Present value factor for 4 years at 10 % =

= PV = 1/(1+r) ^n  

1/ (1+ 10%)^4 =(0.909090909)^ 4 =  0.68301345

Present value of the note = $5,000,000 x 0.68301345= $3,415,067.28

Discount on note payable =$5,000,000 -$3,415,067.28 =$1,584,932.72
