Answer:
Song Corp
1. Correct Journal Entries for the transaction:
Debit Note Receivable $100,000
Credit Interest on Note Receivable $20,281
Credit Sales Revenue $79,719
To record the sale of goods with a 12% note receivable.
2. Explanation of how the discount (Interest) on the Note Receivable was found:
The first button to select on the Calculator is the "Starting Principal," because this is the variable of interest.
The inputs on the TVM buttons were the $100,000 on the FV, $0 on the PMT, 2 on the N, and 12 on the I/Y buttons. These inputs then calculated the value of PV as $79,719 and Interest as $20,281 approximately when I pressed the "Calculate" button.
N = Number of Periods = 2 years
I/Y = Interest Rate = Effective Interest Rate of 12%
PV = Calculated Value (Present Value of the sales transaction = $79,719)
PMT = Periodic Monthly Payments made to settle the debt = $0.
FV = Future value of the note = $100,000
Total Interest = $20,281
Explanation:
The present value of the sales transaction, which Song Corp. contracted with a customer is $79,719. This is the amount that would have the future value of $100,000.00 for the note receivable from the customer, with an effective interest rate of 12% per annum after 2 years.
The difference between the future value of $100,000 and the present value of $79,719 represents the interest cost, which the customer bears for the note receivable.
However, it is important to stress that this difference is not described as a "Discount on Note Receivable" as depicted in this question, but as an "Interest on Note Receivable." A discount on note receivable would have had a debit balance.
