On January 1, 2018, LLB Industries borrowed $350,000 from Trust Bank by issuing a two-year, 10% note, with interest payable quarterly. LLB entered into a two-year interest rate swap agreement on January 1, 2018, and designated the swap as a fair value hedge. Its intent was to hedge the risk that general interest rates will decline, causing the fair value of its debt to increase. The agreement called for the company to receive payment based on a 10% fixed interest rate on a notional amount of $350,000 and to pay interest based on a floating interest rate. The contract called for cash settlement of the net interest amount quarterly.|

Floating (LIBOR) settlement rates were 10% at January 1, 8% at March 31, and 6% June 30, 2018. The fair values of the swap are quotes obtained from a derivatives dealer. Those quotes and the fair values of the note are as indicated below.

January 1 March 31 June 30
Fair value of interest rate swap 0 $ 7,972 $ 14,394
Fair value of note payable $ 350,000 $ 357,972 $ 364,394


Required:
1.
Calculate the net cash settlement at March 31 and June 30, 2018.
2. Prepare the journal entries through June 30, 2018, to record the issuance of the note, interest, and necessary adjustments for changes in fair value.

At year-end 2018, Wallace Landscaping’s total assets were $1.20 million, and its accounts payable were $310,000. Sales, which in 2018 were $3.3 million, are expected to increase by 25% in 2019. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained. Wallace typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $515,000 in 2018, and retained earnings were $260,000. Wallace has arranged to sell $55,000 of new common stock in 2019 to meet some of its financing needs. The remainder of its financing needs will be met by issuing new long-term debt at the end of 2019. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Its net profit margin on sales is 3%, and 55% of earnings will be paid out as dividends.
