Answer a:
Note Receivable of value = $100,000
Invetnory cost = $60,000
Discount rate =8%
Duration from Aug 1, 2018 to Apr 30, 2019 = 9 months
Sales to be recognized = $100,000 / (1 + 8%*9/12) = $94,340

Answer (b):
If McLaren recorded the note as an interest-bearing note on August 1, 2018, (i.e., did not record a discount on the note:
Note Receivable would have been recorded at $100,000, hence Assets would have been overstated by $5,660.
Sales would have recorded as $100,000, hence net income as well as Stockholders' equity would have been overstated by $5,660.
There would be no effect on Liability.
Answer (c):
Interest revenue from April 1 2018 to Dec 31, 2018 = $94,340 * 8% * 5 / 12 = $3,145
Answer (d):
If McLaren’ 2018 net income without including the Aug. 1 sale or December 31 adjusting entry was $200,000, the correct 2018 net income:
Net Income without including the Aug. 1 sale or December 31 adjusting entry = $200,000
Add, net income on Aug 1, sale (=$94340 - $60,000) = $34,340
Add, Interest revenue income on Dec 31, 2018 = $3,145
Correct net income = $200,000+ $34,340 + $3,145
= $237,485
Answer (e):
Amounts related to the note McLaren will report on its 2018 balance sheet:
Note Receivables = $94,340
Interest Receivable = $3,145
Answer (f):
Interest for the period from Jan 1, 2019 to Apr 30, 2019 = $94,340 * 8% * 4/12 = $2,515
