On October 1, 2017, Vaughn Equipment Company sold a
pecan-harvesting machine to Valco Brothers Farm, Inc. In lieu of a
cash payment Valco Brothers Farm gave Arden a 2-year, $138,800, 8%
note (a realistic rate of interest for a note of this type). The
note required interest to be paid annually on October 1. Vaughn’s
financial statements are prepared on a calendar-year basis.
Assuming Valco Brothers Farm fulfills all the terms of the note,
prepare the necessary journal entries for Vaughn Equipment Company
for the entire term of the note. Assume that reversing entries are
not made on January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2019.
