Chapter Current Liabilities, Contingencies, and the Time Value of Money Current Liabilities Obligation that will be satisfied within one year or within current operating cycle  Normally recorded at face value and are important because they are indications of a company’s liquidity  Examples:  Accounts payable  Notes payable  Current portion of long-term debt  Taxes payable  Other accrued liabilities  LO Accounts Payable  Amounts owed for inventory, goods, or services acquired in the normal course of business  Usually not require the payment of interest, but terms may be given to encourage early payment  Example: 2/10, n/30 A 2% discount is available if payment occurs within the first ten days  If payment is not made within ten days, the full amount must be paid within 30 days Notes Payable  Amounts owed that are represented by a formal contract  Formal agreement is signed by the parties to the transaction   Arise from dealing with a supplier or acquiring a cash loan from a bank or creditor The accounting for notes depends on whether the interest is paid on the note’s due date or is deducted before the borrower receives the loan proceeds Example 9.1—Recording the Interest on Notes Payable  Assume that Hot Coffee Inc receives a one-year loan from First National Bank on January The face amount of the note of $1,000 must be repaid on December 31 along with interest at the rate of 12% Example 9.1—Recording the Interest on Notes Payable (continued)  The company could identify and analyze the effect of the repayment as follows: Example 9.2—Discounting a Note  Suppose that on January 1, 2014, First National Bank granted to Hot Coffee a $1,000 loan, due on December 31, 2014, but deducted the interest in advance and gave Hot Coffee the remaining amount of $880 ($1,000 face amount of the note less interest of $120) Example 9.2—Discounting a Note (continued)  The Discount on Notes Payable account should be treated as a reduction of Notes Payable If a balance sheet was developed immediately after the January loan, the note would appear in the Current Liability category as follows: Example 9.2—Discounting a Note (continued)  The original balance in the Discount on Notes Payable account represents interest that must be transferred to interest expense over the life of the note Refer to Example 9-2 Before Hot Coffee presents its year-end financial statements, it must make an adjustment to transfer the discount to interest expense Example 9.2—Discounting a Note (continued)  Thus, the balance of the Discount on Notes Payable account is zero and $120 has been transferred to interest expense When the note is repaid on December 31, 2014, Hot Coffee must repay the full amount of the note Compound Interest  Calculated on the principal plus previous amounts of interest  Assume a $3,000 note payable for which interest and principal are due in two years with interest compounded annually at 10% per year Interest Compounding  Future value of a single amount  Present value of a single amount  Future value of an annuity  Present value of an annuity LO Future Value of a Single Amount  Amount accumulated at a future time from a single payment or investment  The future amount is always larger than the principal amount (payment) because of the interest that accumulates Future Value of a Single Amount (continued) Present Value of a Single Amount  The amount at a present time that is equivalent to a payment or an investment at a future time Future Value of an Annuity  The amount accumulated in the future when a series of payments is invested and accrues interest  Annuity: series of payments of equal amounts Using Future Value of Annuity of $1 Table Future Value of an Annuity (continued) Using future value of $1 table: Present Value of an Annuity  The amount at a present time that is equivalent to a series of payments and interest in the future Using Present Value of Annuity of $1 Table Present Value of an Annuity (continued) Using present value of $1 table: Example 9.13—Solving for an Interest Rate   Assume that you have just purchased an automobile for $14,419 and must decide how to pay for it Your local bank has graciously granted you a five-year loan Because you are a good credit risk, the bank will allow you to make annual payments on the loan at the end of each year The amount of the loan payments, which include principal and interest, is $4,000 per year You are concerned that your total payments will be $20,000 ($4,000 per year for five years) and want to calculate the interest rate that is being charged on the loan Because the market or present value of the car, as well as the loan, is $14,419, a time diagram of the example would appear as follows: LO Example 9.13—Solving for an Interest Rate (Continued)  The interest rate we must solve for represents the discount rate that was applied to the $4,000 payments to result in a present value of $14,419 Therefore, the applicable formula is the following:  In this case, PV is known, so the formula can be rearranged as follows: Table 9.4— Present Value of Annuity of $1 Example 9.14—Solving for the Number of Years  Assume that you want to accumulate $12,000 as a down payment on a home You believe that you can save $1,000 per semiannual period, and your bank will pay interest of 8% per year, or 4% per semiannual period How long will it take you to accumulate the desired amount?  The future value is known to be $12,000, and we must solve for the interest factor or table factor Therefore, we can rearrange the formula as follows: Table 9.3—Future Value of Annuity of $1 End of Chapter [...]...
