Question

On January 1, 2022, Austin Company received a 12-month, $100,000 note with a stated rate of 7%. On April 30, 2022, Austin discounted the note at the Houston Bank. The bank's discount rate is 8%. What are the cash proceeds from discounting the note receivable?

Answer 1

Answer:

$101,293

Explanation:

$100,000 face amount + $7,000 interest to maturity ($100,000 x 7%) = maturity value less the discount for the time remaining to maturity of $5,707 ($107,000 x 8% x 8/12) = $101,293
