On 1/1/20 Toyota sells a car for a non-interest bearing note. The car would normally sell for $75,000 in cash, but the customer instead opts to pay a lump sum of $100,000 in two years (this is the only payment). The car costs Toyota $55,000 to build. Assume that Toyota uses a perpetual inventory system and sells directly to the customer.
