Notes Payable
PROBLEM 1: TRUE OR FALSE
1. FALSE – interest payable = face amount x nominal rate

2. TRUE
 (1,241,843 x 110% x 110%) = 1,502,630 carrying amount on Dec.
31, 20x2
 2M face amount - 1,502,630 = 497,370

3. TRUE

4. FALSE (1M x PV of ordinary annuity of 1 @10%, n=3)

5. TRUE

6. FALSE 40,000 (400,000 cash price equivalent x 10%)

7. TRUE (100,000 x .90) = 90,000 x 10% = 9,000

8. TRUE (100,000 x .90 x 110% x 10%) = 9,900 OR (90,000 + 9,000)

x 10% = 9,900

9. FALSE 850,000 (the note is payable in installments)

10. TRUE

PROBLEM 2: MULTIPLE CHOICE – THEORY

1. D – a note with below-market interest rate is discounted
2. A
3. C
4. A
5. D
Choice (a) is incorrect because this refers to the income statement
rather than the statement of financial position.

6. C
7. C
8. D
9. B
1st note: 6,000 x 18% = 1,080 interest expense;
2nd note: (7,080 ÷ 118%) x 18% = 1,080 interest expense

10. B
Concept: Pre-acquisition accrued interest
When interest has accrued before the issuance of an interest-
bearing payable, the subsequent payment of interest is allocated
between the pre-acquisition and post-acquisition periods. Only
the portion pertaining to the post-acquisition period is recognized
as interest expense.
