Question

Ireland Corporation obtained a $40,000 note receivable from a customer on June 30, 2011. The note, along with interest at 6%, is due on June 30, 2012. On September 30, 2011, Ireland discounted the note at Cloverdale bank. The bank's discount rate is 10%. What amount of cash did Ireland receive from Cloverdale Bank

Answer 1

Answer:

$39,220

Explanation:

The maturity value of the note receivable on June 30, 2012

= Principal + Interest

= $40,000 + $40,000 x 6%

= $40,000 + $2,400

= $ 42,400

The note is discounted on September 30, 2011. Time period remaining to go till maturity as on September 30, 2011

= 12 - 3 months ( July, Aug and Sep)

= 9 months.

Amount of deduction  

= $ 42,400 x 10% x 9/12

= $ 3,180

Finally, the Cash received by Ireland will be

= Maturity value - Discount

= $42,400 - $ 3,180

= $39,220
