discounting is immaterial.

2. Long term Notes receivable

• Non-interest bearing
SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENTS

• Subsequent to initial recognition longterm notes receivable shall be measured at a amortized cost
using the effective interest Method. The amortized cost method is in Accordance with PFRS 9, paragraph
5,2,1

• The amortized cost is the amount at which notes receivable is measure initially;

a. Minus principal payment

b. Plus or minus cumulative amortization of any difference between initial carrying amount and the
principal maturity amount

c. Minus reduction for impairment or uncollectibly

• For long term non interest bearing notes receivable, the amortized cost is the present value plus
amortization of the discount or the face amount minus unamortized earned interest income

•Only Long term interest bearing and non interest bearing notes receivable will be discussed in the
conjunction with the present value concept.

PRESENT VALUE - it is the discounted value of future cash flows using effective interest rate
