(a) The purchase price of the land should be recorded at
the present value of the future cash flows of the instalment note at the imputed interest rate of 9%. This is the fairest measure of the value of the asset obtained as it represents the present value of an agreed series of future cash flows. The listing price represents a tentative amount asked for the property and could be above or below the eventual agreed value.
(b) Land will be recorded at $110,000 based on the calculations below:
*PV of $43,456 ordinary annuity @ 9% for 3
years: ($43,456 X 2.53130) = $110,000
Excel formula: =PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv,type)

(d) Land ................................................................................. 110,000 Notes Payable ......................................................... 110,000
(e) Interest Expense ............................................................. 9,900 Notes Payable ................................................................. 33,556 Cash ........................................................................ 43,456 (a) (f) From the perspective of Safayeni Ltd., an instalment note provides for a reduced risk of collection when compared to a regular interest-bearing note. In the case of the interest- bearing note, the principal amount is due at the maturity of the note. Further, the instalment note provides a regular reduction of the principal balance in every payment received annually and therefore reduces Safayenis investment in the receivable, freeing up the cash for other purposes. This is demonstrated in the effective interest amortization table provided above for the instalment note.

Reacquisition price ($500,000 X 104%) .......................... $520,000 Less: Net carrying amount of bonds redeemed: Face value ............................................................ $500,000 Unamortized discount ......................................... (10,000) 490,000 Loss on redemption ........................................................ $ 30,000
Bonds Payable ................................................................ 490,000 Loss on Redemption of Bonds ....................................... 30,000 Cash ........................................................................ 520,000 (To record redemption of bonds payable)
Note: When a note or bond is issued, it should be recognized at the fair value adjusted by any directly attributable issue costs. These costs would affect the amount of bond premium or discount amortization recorded and effectively increase the interest expense over the term of the bond through the allocation of the issuance cost to periods. However, note that where the liabilities will subsequently be measured at fair value (e.g., under the fair value option or because they are derivatives), the transaction costs should not be included in the initial measurement (i.e., the costs should be expensed at the time of issuance) [CICA Handbook, Part II, Section 3856.07 and IAS 39.43].
Issuance costs increases the effective interest rate because the proceeds are now lower (512k instead of 515k). The new effective interest rate will have to be recalculated based on the PV of 512k, the periodic interest payments and the face value of the bond.
