(Notes Receivable with Unrealistic Interest Rate)
(LO 4, 6) On December 31, 2020, Ed Abbey Co. performed environmental consulting services for Hayduke Co. Hayduke was short of cash, and Abbey Co. agreed to accept a $200,000 zero-interest-bearing note due December 31, 2022, as payment in full. Hayduke is somewhat of a credit risk and typically borrows funds at a rate of 10%. Abbey is much more creditworthy and has various lines of credit at 6%. (hint: look back in the notes to see whose rate of interest we used for discounting!)
