6. Calculate the interest on a note
Objective 2
Calculate the interest on a note
QUESTION:
What is interest?
Interest is the fee charged for the use of money.
ANSWER:
The second objective of this chapter is to calculate the interest on a note.
What is interest? Interest is the fee charged for the borrowing of money.

7. Calculating Interest on a note
Interest = Principal x Rate x Time
Amount being borrowed
(also called face value)
Indicated in fractions
of a year
The formula for calculating interest is to multiply the principal times the interest rate times the time. Notice that the principal is the amount being borrowed, or sometimes call the face value. The time element of the formula in expressed in months of a year. We will use a “banker’s year.” A banker’s year is a three-hundred sixty day time period used to calculate interest on a note. Notice in this example the time element of the equation uses three-hundred sixty days for the denominator
Principal x Rate x Time = Interest
$2, x x (90/360) = $75

8. Determine the maturity date of a note
Objective 3
Determine the maturity date of
a note
QUESTION:
What is maturity value?
Maturity value is the total amount that must be paid when a note becomes due.
ANSWER:
The third objective of this chapter is to determine the maturity date of a note.
What is maturity value? Maturity value is the total amount of a note that must be paid when due. It includes both the principal and the interest.

9. Calculating the Maturity Date of a Note
Principal + Interest = Maturity Value
$2, $ = $2,575
Determine the number of days remaining in the month of issue.
Determine the number of days in each full month of the note.
Determine the number of days in the last month of the note.
Add the days together to confirm that they equal the period of the note.
The maturity value of the note in this example includes the principal amount of two-thousand five-hundred dollars plus the seventy-five dollars of interest.
Calculating the maturity date of a note includes four steps. First, determine the number of days remaining in the month of issue. Second, determine the number of days in each full month of the note. Third, determine the number of days in the last month of the note, and finally, add the days together in the first three steps to confirm that they equal the period of the note.

10. A 90-day note is issued May 18.
Number of days remaining in month of issue =
Month of May days
Issue Date May – 18 days
May days
Number of days in each full month of the note =
Term of note days
Days in May – 13 days
In this example, a 90-day note was issued on May 18. First, the number of days remain in May is calculated to be thirteen. That leaves seventy-seven days before maturity. Next, thirty days in June and thirty-one days in July, which represent full months, are subtracted leaving the maturity date of August sixteenth.
77 days
June – 30 days
July – 31 days
August days
Maturity date is August 16.

When the notes matures, the company must pay the maturity value of the note. This includes a debit to notes payable of four-thousand dollars – the face value of the note. Interest expense is debited for eighty dollars and cash is credited for the total of four-thousand eighty dollars. Interest is calculated by multiplying the four-thousand dollar face amount of the note by eight percent interest, then multiplying that amount by ninety over three-hundred sixty days.

14. Discounted Notes Payable
Objective 5
Record discounted notes payable transactions
Discounted Notes Payable
Example: If a $12,000, 7% 60-day note is discounted with the bank, then the borrower would receive only $11,860.
Face Amount – Discount = Proceeds
$12, – $ = $11,860
The fifth objective of this chapter is to record discounted notes payable transactions.
What is discounting? Discounting is deducting the interest from the principal of a note in advance.
In this example, a twelve-thousand dollar, seven percent interest, sixty day note is discounted with a bank. Notice how the calculated interest of one-hundred forty-dollars is deducted from the face amount of the note leaving net proceeds of eleven-thousand eight-hundred sixty dollars.
$12,000 x 7% x 60/360 = $140 interest

Compute the proceeds from a discounted note receivable, and record transactions related to discounting of notes receivable
Objective 7
Discounting a Note Receivable
If the noteholder wants cash before the maturity date, the note can be discounted (sold) at the bank.
The seventh objective of this chapter is to compute the proceeds from a discounted notes receivable, and record transactions related to discounting of notes receivable. If the holder of a note receivable wants to receive cash before the maturity date, they may sell the note to a bank. This process is called discounting of a note receivable.

27. Discounting a Note Receivable
The bank pays the proceeds to the noteholder.
Principal
+ Interest
– Discount
(Maturity Value)
Cash proceeds paid to the note holder begins by calculating the maturity value of the note. Remember that the maturity value of a note receivable is the face amount of the note plus the interest income. From this maturity value the note discount is subtracted yielding the net cash proceeds paid.
= Proceeds

28. Calculating the Discount and
Discount Period
The discount period is the period from the date the note is taken to the bank to be discounted (or sold) and continues on to the maturity date.
Calculating the Discount and
the Proceeds
Step 1: Determine the maturity value of the note.
Step 2: Calculate the number of days in the discount period.
Step 3: Compute the discount charged by the bank.
Step 4: Calculate the proceeds.
The discount period used to calculate the note discount is the period of time from the date the note is taken to the bank to be sold, and continues on to the maturity date.
There are four steps required to calculate the net cash proceeds received from a discounted note. The first steps involves determining the maturity value of the note. The second step requires calculation of the number of days in the discount period. The third step requires computation of the discount dollar amount charged by the bank. The fourth step then involves calculating the net cash proceeds to be paid by the bank.

To record discounting of
Kim Myers note
In this example, a one-thousand eight-hundred dollar ninety-day six per cent discounted note receivable was received when there was still thirty days left until maturity. The maturity value of the note is one-thousand eight-hundred twenty seven dollars. The discount is fifteen dollars and twenty-three cents. Therefore, the proceeds received are one-thousand eight-hundred eleven dollars and seventy-seven cents. The discount is calculated by taking the maturity amount of the note, $1,827 and multiplying that figure by the discount rate of ten percent, then multiplying that amount by thirty days divided by three-hundred sixty. The discount is then subtracted from the maturity value of the note to yield the net cash proceeds received.
Proceeds received: $1,800 x 6% x 90/360 = $27 interest. $1,800 + $27 = $1,827 maturity value. $1,827 x 10% x 30/360 = $15.23 discount. $1827 – = $ net cash proceeds received.
