Please show how the amount to multiply $600,000 is determined.
a.
Accounting nature of this transaction would be
'Extinguishment of debt'
b.
There will be no journal entry on the books of Pearl Inc.
The amount to multiply by $600,000 is decided using these tables:
PV Table (Present Value of $1)
PVA Table (Present Value of $1 Annuity)
Note amount before refinancing = 600,000
PV of 600,000 due in 10 years @ 12 % = 600,000 * PV factor @ 12%, n = 10 years
= 600,000 * 0.3220 = 193,200
PV of annual interest payable on note = (600000 * .05) * PV of annuity @ 12% for 10 years
= 30,000 * 5.6502
= 169,506
Credit loss after refinance = 600,000 – 193,200 - 169,506
= 237,293
