Note was issued in exchange for merchandise. The company records adjusting entries only at year-end. There were no other notes receivable outstanding during 2013. Required: 1. Determine the rate used to discount the noninterest-bearing note. Discount rate % 2. Determine the explicit interest rate on Note 2. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Interest rate % 3. What is the amount of interest revenue that appears in the company

Explanation / Answer

I only know the solution to the first part. Determine the rate used to discount the noninterest-bearing note- 650,000 face value of notes - 645,000 balance sheet amount = 5,000 Since Note 3 is the only discounted note, it must have been discounted $5,000. 5,000 / 200,000 = 2.5% interest for 6 months 2.5% x 2 = 5% annual percentage rate Hence, 5% is the rate used to discount the noninterest-bearing note or the discount rate.
