Answer:
cash 55,110,929 debit
note payable 55,110,929 credit
--to record singing of promissory note with discounted interest--
interest expense 1.583.741,77 debit
note payable 1.583.741,77 credit
--to record accrued interest on note payable --
Explanation:
the note plus interest will be for 60 millions.
So to calcualte the isuance ofthe note we must calculate the present value of a lump sum at 12% discount rate:
Maturity 60,000,000.00
time 0.75
rate 0.12
PV 55,110,929.18
then at December 31th we solve for the accrued interest:
Principal 55,110,929.18
time 0.25 (3 months over 12 month a year)
rate 0.12000
Amount 56,694,670.95
accrued interest: 56,694,670.95 - 55,110,929.18 = 1.583.741,77
Answer: c. earns a higher return than the rate paid on debt.
Explanation:
If the debt that the company incurs leads to the company making more money than they are paying as interest for the debt, then more money will be available as net income which would increase the Return on Equity.
ROE is calculated by dividing the Net Income by Shareholder equity. Interest is an expense. If this expense is lower then the increase in net income as a result of the debt then it follows that net income would increase and so would ROE.
