Answer 1

Answer:

1. Determine the rate used to discount the noninterest-bearing note.

face value of the notes receivable = $400,000 + $260,000 + $200,000 = $860,000

carrying value = $855,000

difference = $860,000 - $855,000 = $5,000

6 month note, so total interest = $10,000

yearly interest = $10,000 x 2 = $20,000

interest rate = $20,000 / $200,000 = 10%

2. Determine the explicit interest rate on Note 2. (Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

total accrued interest = $22,500

interest on note 1 = $16,000

interest on note 2 = $6,500 (six months worth of interest)

total yearly interest = $13,000

interest rate = $13,000 / $260,000 = 5%

3. What is the amount of interest revenue that appears in the company’s 2021 income statement related to these notes?

total interest = $22,500 + $5,000 = $27,500
