On January 1, 2017, Margaret Avery Co. borrowed and received $400,000 from a major customer evidenced by a zero-interest-bearing note due in 3 years. As consideration for the zero-interest-bearing feature, Avery agrees to supply the customer’s inventory needs for the loan period at lower than the market price. The appropriate rate at which to impute interest is 8%.

Instructions


(a) Prepare the journal entry to record the initial transaction on January 1, 2017. (Round all computations to the nearest dollar.)

(b) Prepare the journal entry to record any adjusting entries needed at December 31, 2017. Assume that the sales of Avery’s product to this customer occur evenly over the 3-year period.

E14-3 (L01) (Entries for Bond Transactions) Presented below are two independent situations.

1. On January 1, 2017, Simon Company issued \(200,000 of 9%, 10-year bonds at par. Interest is payable quarterly on April 1, July 1, October 1, andJanuary 1.

2. On June 1, 2017, Garfunkel Company issued \)100,000 of 12%, 10-year bonds dated January 1 at par plus accrued interest. Interest is payable semi-annually on July 1 and January 1.

Instructions

For each of these two independent situations, prepare journal entries to record the following.

(a) The issuance of the bonds.

(b) The payment of interest on July 1.

(c) The accrual of interest on December 31.

Strickland Company owes \(200,000 plus \)18,000 of accrued interest to Moran State Bank. The debt is a 10-year, 10% note. During 2017, Strickland’s business deteriorated due to a faltering regional economy. On December 31, 2017, Moran State Bank agrees to accept an old machine and cancel the entire debt. The machine has a cost of \(390,000, accumulated depreciation of \)221,000, and a fair value of \(180,000.

Instructions

  1. Prepare journal entries for Strickland Company and Moran State Bank to record this debt settlement.
  2. How should Strickland report the gain or loss on the disposition of machine and on restructuring of debt in its 2017 income statement?
  3. Assume that, instead of transferring the machine, Strickland decides to grant 15,000 shares of its common stock (\)10 par) which has a fair value of $180,000 in full settlement of the loan obligation. If Moran State Bank treats Strickland’s stock as a trading investment, prepare the entries to record the transaction for both parties.
