Compute the following items assuming (a) an interest-bearing note at 12%, (b) non-interest- bearing note discounted at 12%.
- a) Cash received
- b) Effective interest rate
- c) Interest expense for 2019
Explanation of Solution
- (a) An interest bearing note at 12%
(a) Compute the cash received for interest-bearing note at 12%:
The cash received for interest-bearing note at 12% is $60,000. As the note includes an interest-bearing at 12% thus the face value of the note will be given by the creditor to the Incorporation E.
- (b) Compute the effective interest rate for interest bearing note at 12%:
The effective interest rate for interest bearing note is 12%.
- (c) Compute the interest expense for an interest bearing note at 12% for 2019.
Thus, the interest expense for 2019 is $1,200.
(b) non-interest- bearing note discounted at 12%.
- (a) Compute the cash received for non-interest bearing note discounted at 12%:
Note: For the non-interest bearing note the creditor will not give the face value of the note. Instead, the creditor will deduct the interest rate 12% from the face value of the note and the balance amount will be given to Incorporation E.
Thus, the cash received by Incorporation E is $52,800.
- (b) Compute the effective interest rate for non-interest bearing note discounted at 12%:
Thus, the effective interest rate on non-bearing interest note is
- (c) Compute the interest expense for 2019 for non-interest bearing note discounted at 12%:
Thus, the amount of interest expense for 2019 is $1,200.

Explain the reason for the higher effective rate for the non-interest bearing note.
Explanation of Solution
Effective interest rate: The fixed interest rate which is applied on the carrying value of note, to amortize the note discount is referred to as effective interest rate.
Reasons for the higher effective rate for the non-interest bearing note:
In the above situation, Incorporation E pays the same of amount of interest of $7,200. However, Incorporation E receives $60,000 under interest bearing note, $52,800 under non-interest bearing note. As, it receives less amount of cash for the non-interest bearing note, the effective rate of interest of the non-interest bearing note is higher than the effective rate of interest of an interest bearing note.
