Answer 1

Solution:

1. (i)  

Sales revenue = Present value of the note receivable  

= $528,000 x .86384 = $456,108  

Present value of $1: n = 3, i = 5% (PV of $1)  

(ii)  

December 31, 2018:  

Interest revenue: ($456,108 x 5%) = $22,805  

December 31, 2019:  

Interest revenue: (($456,108 + $22,805) x 5%) = $23,946  

December 31, 2020:  

Interest revenue: (($456,108 + $22,805 + $23,946) x 5%) = $25,143
