On January 1, 2019, The Rusty Moose Corporation sold a building that cost $300,000 and that had accumulated depreciation of $115,000 on the date of sale. The Rusty Moose received as consideration a $325,000 non-interest-bearing note due on January 1, 2023. There was no established exchange price for the building, and the note had no ready market. The prevailing rate of interest for a note of this type on January 1, 2019, was 6%. At what amount should the gain from the sale of the building be reported?

All amounts are in $
Computation of present value of bond
Present value of bond = 325,000 x PVF(6%,4years)
= 325,000 x 0.79209
= 257,430 (rounded off)
1) Gain on sale of building
= Consideration - Net book value
= 257,430 - (300,000-115,000)
= 72,430
2) On the date of collection, $325,000 is debited to cash (as the entire amount will be received)
3) Discount on notes receivable
= Face value - Discounted value
= 325,000 - 257,430
= 67,570
4) At the year end of 2 (i.e., 2020) the interest revenue is 16,373 or 16,372.56
5) Present value of non interest bearing note on 1 January 2019 is $257,430
