4. 16-4 Learning Objective 3 Record the receipt of a note receivable. Here are the entry on March 1, 2006, to record the sale and note receivable. On May 30, 2010, Office Supplies, Inc. receives the principal amount of the note plus interest. LO3

5. 16-5 Learning Objective 4 Record the honoring, discounting, and dishonoring of a note and the adjustment for interest. On March 31, 2010, Office Supplies decides that it needs cash and cannot hold the note any longer. The company goes to First National Bank and discounts the note at 12%. The bank pays Office Supplies cash and deposits the amount in its checking account. Step 1: Calculate the maturity value of the note. Maturity value = Principal + Interest due at Maturity Maturity value $12,270 = $12,000 + $270 = $12,270 Step 2: Determine days in discount period. LO4

6. 16-6 Note Discounted before Maturity Step 3: Compute the bank discount charge. Discount Charge = Maturity Value Discount Rate Discount Period × × Discount Charge $245.40 = $12,270 × 12% × 60/360 = $245.40 Step 4: Compute proceeds from the discounting. Proceeds = Maturity Value – Discount Charge $12,024.60 = $12,270.00 – $245.50 LO4

7. 16-7 Note Discounted before Maturity Let’s look at the journal entry to record the discounting of the note receivable. Now let’s assume that Office Supplies held the note to maturity.

12. 16-12 Learning Objective 6 Explain the types and payment patterns of notes. An installment note requires a series of payments over the life of the note rather than one payment at maturity. On January 1, 2010, Gear, Inc. signs a $60,000 note to First Bank. The note bears interest at 10% annually and requires payments of $15,827.85 at the end of each of the next five years. LO6

13. 16-13 Learning Objective 7 Compute the interest times earned ratio and use it to analyze liabilities. Experience shows that when times interest earned falls below 1.5 to 2.0 and remains at that level or lower for several periods, the default rate on liabilities increases sharply. When a company has long-tem liabilities, lenders want to know if there will be sufficient earnings to pay interest as it comes due. Lenders can use this ratio to help decide if they should accept the risk. LO7
