Selkirk Company obtained a $30,000 note receivable from a
customer on January 1, 2018. The note, along with interest at 12%,
is due on July 1, 2018. On February 28, 2018, Selkirk discounted
the note at Unionville Bank. The bank’s discount rate is 14%.
Required:
Prepare the journal entries required on February 28, 2018, to
accrue interest and to record the discounting for Selkirk. Assume
that the discounting is accounted for as a sale. (If no
entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry
required" in the first account field.)
Solution:
Interest accrued on 28.02.2018 = $30,000*12%*2/12 = $600
Face value of note = $30,000
Interest to maturity = $30,000 * 12% * 6/12 = $1,800
Maturity value = $30,000 + $1,800 = $31,800
Discount rate of bank = 14%
Discount amount = $31,800 *14% * 4/12 = $1,484
Cash proceed = $31,800 - $1,484 = $30,316
