Equipment is exchanged for a noninterest-bearing note. Payment of $20,000 on the
note is to be made in one year. The market rate of notes of similar risk is 5%. Assuming
an annual interest rate of 5% is appropriate, the present value of the principal is
$20,000 × 0.95238 = $19,048. Assuming that a semiannual interest rate of 2.5% is
appropriate, the present value of the principal is ($20,000/2) × 1.92742 = $19,274.
What is the cost that should be recorded with the purchase of this equipment? -
ANS-$19,048 present value

principal is $25,000 × 0.82193 = $20,548. Assuming an annual interest rate of 5% for 4
years is appropriate, the present value of the principal is $25,000 × 0.82270 = $20,568.
