Ahmad bought a desktop computer and a laptop computer. Before finance charges, the laptop cost less than the desktop. He paid fo

deff fn [24]

Answer:

cost of laptop = $1,800

cost of desktop = $2,100

Explanation:

From the question above, we can see that the laptop costs $300 less than the desktop, therefore, we say:

let x represent the cost of the laptop ;

then x+300 will be the cost of the desktop .

We can also see that the total finance charge of $252 is equal to 7% of the cost of the laptop and 6% of the cost of the desktop, we solve as follows:

252 = 0.07(x) + 0.06(x + 300)

252 = 0.07x + 0.06x + 18

252 - 18 = 0.13x

234 = 0.13x

x = 234/0.13

x = 1,800

Recall that:

cost of desktop = x + 300

therefore:

1,800 + 300 = 2,100.

cost of laptop = $1,800

cost of desktop = $2,100

On January 1, 2018, Byner Company purchased a used tractor Byner paid $3,000 down and signed a noninterest-bearing note requirin

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

tractor 35,127,42 debit

note payable 32,172.42 credit

cash 3,000 credit

--to record issuance--

Note payale end of 2018

39,584.19

note payables at Dec 31th

Note payable at the end of 2019

39,584.19

note payables at Dec 31th

Explanation:

As the note has zero.interest we discount the note to get the present value:

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

Maturity $44,000.0000

time 3.00

rate 0.11

$\frac{44000}{(1 + 0.11)^{3} } = PV$

PV 32,172.42

The difference will be a discount that will acrrue interest overtime.

the truck will enter the accounting net of interest charges thus:

3,000 downpayment + 32,127.42 = 35,127.42‬

interest will be: 32,127.42 x 1.11 = 32,127.41

Then, do the same for 2019

(32,127.41 + 3,532.0162) x 1.11 = 39,584.19
