Selkirk Company obtained a $18,000 note receivable from a
customer on January 1, 2018. The note, along with interest at 10%,
is due on July 1, 2018. On February 28, 2018, Selkirk discounted
the note at Unionville Bank. The bank’s discount rate is 12%.
Required:
Prepare the journal entries required on February 28, 2018, to
accrue interest and to record the discounting for Selkirk. Assume
that the discounting is accounted for as a sale. (If no
entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry
required" in the first account field.)
SOLUTION
Journal entries-
Date | Accounts titles and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
February 28, 2018 | Interest receivable | 300 | |
Interest revenue (18,000*10%*2/12) | 300 | ||
(To record accrued interest) | |||
February 28, 2018 | Cash | 18,180 | |
Loss on sale of note receivable | 120 | ||
Notes receivable | 18,000 | ||
Interest receivable | 300 | ||
(To record the discounting of note receivable) |
Discounting of notes receivable-
Interest = 18,000*10% *6/12 = 900
Maturity value = 18,000 + 900 = 18,900
Discount = 18,000 * 12% * 4/12 = $720
Cash proceeds = Maturity value - Discount
= 18,900 - 720 = 18,180
Loss on sale of investment = Face value of note receivable + Interest receivable - Cash proceeds
= 18,000 + 300 - 18,180 = 120
