Question

Sweet Engineering Corporation purchased conveyor equipment with a list price of $9,400. Presented below are three independent cases related to the equipment.

(a)		Sweet paid cash for the equipment 8 days after the purchase. The vendor’s credit terms are 2/10, n/30. Assume that equipment purchases are initially recorded gross.
(b)		Sweet traded in equipment with a book value of $2,200 (initial cost $7,800), and paid $8,700 in cash one month after the purchase. The old equipment could have been sold for $400 at the date of trade. (The exchange has commercial substance.)
(c)		Sweet gave the vendor a $9,800 zero-interest-bearing note for the equipment on the date of purchase. The note was due in one year and was paid on time. Assume that the effective-interest rate in the market was 8%.
