Hafers, an electrical supply company, sold $5,000 of equipment to Jim Coates Wiring, Inc. Coates signed a promissory note May 12 with 4.8% interest. The due date was August 10. Short of funds, Hafers contacted Charter One Bank on July 20; the bank agreed to take over the note at a 6.5% discount. (Use Days in a year table.)
What proceeds will Hafers receive? (Use 360 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest cent.)
Proceeds received
Proceeds Received by Hafers=$5,041
Solution:
Days between May 12 to May 31st = 19
Days in June=30
Days in July = 31
Days in August = 10
Total Days=19+30+31+10=90
Loan Interest = $5,000 * 90 * 4.8
360*100
=2,160,000
36000
=$60
Total Amount due = Face Value+Loan Interest
=$5,000+$60
=$5,060
Now the days left in maturity are given as:
Days between July 20 and August 10 = 21 days
Total Number of Days in the year is =360
Rate of Discount = 6.5%
Discount by bank = $5,060*21*6.5
100*360
=$690,690
36000
=$19.19
Net Value of the Note =Amount Due - Discount
=$5,060 - $19.19
= $ 5,040.81
= $5,041 (rounded)
Proceeds Received by Hafers= $5,041
