PROBLEMS
_FALSE_1. Interest receivable is computed by multiplying the carrying amount of a note by the effective
interest rate.
_FALSE_2. On Jan. 1, 20x1, Crybaby Co. received a noninterest-bearing note with face amount of P2M
and approximately recognized it at P1,241,843. The note matures in lump sum on Dec. 31, 20x5. The
effective interest is 10%. The unamortized discount on Dec 31, 20x2 is P497,370.
_TRUE_3. Raining Co. receives a 3-year, noninterest-bearing note of P1,000,000. Raining Co. determines
that the effective interest rate on the transaction 10%. The initial carrying amount of the note receivable
is computed as: P1,000,000 x PV of 1 @ 10%, n=3.
_FALSE_4. Wet Co. receives a noninterest-bearing note if P3,000,000. The note is collectible in three
equal annual installments of P1,000,000, due at the end of each year. Wet Co. determines that the
effective interest rate on the transaction is 10%. The initial carrying amount of the note receivable is
computed as P1,000,000 x PV of 1 @10%, n=3.
_TRUE_5. Fold Co. receives a 2-year, noninterest-bearing note of P1,200,000 in exchange for the sale of a
commodity. If the customer had paid in cash at the sale date, the purchase price would have been
P800,000. At initial recognition, Fold Co. records unearned interest of P400,000.
_FALSE_6. Bind Co. receives a 2-year, noninterest bearing note of P500,000 from the sale of equipment
with a cash price of P400,000. The note requires lump sum payment at maturity date. Bind Co.
determines that the effective interest rate on the transaction is 10%. The interest income in Year 1 is
P50,000.
_TRUE_7. Cut Co. receives a long-term, noninterest-bearing note of P100,000. The note requires a lump
sum payment at maturity date. Cut Co. determines that the effective interest rate on the transaction is
10% while the appropriate present value factor is 0.90. the interest income in Year 1 is P9,000.

P9,900.

On initial recognition, the carrying amount of the note was P900,000. If the amortization of the note
during the period is P50,000, the carrying amount of the note at the end of the period must be
P950,000.

On initial recognition, the carrying amount of the note was P900,000. At the end of Year 1, the carrying
amount of the note was P800,000, the amortization of the note in Year 1 must be P100,000.
