Why wouldn't you classify the 6,000 loan origination fee as income? in this question– I understand the journal entry for Dec. 31 to record accrued interest but I guess I am confused on how you would record the original Note…. I was thinking it would be
DR Note Receivable 200,000
CR Cash 194,000
CR Income from loan 6,000
On December 1, 20X1, Money Co. gave Home Co. a $200,000, 11% loan. Money paid proceeds of $194,000 after the deduction of a $6,000 nonrefundable loan origination fee. Principal and interest are due in 60 monthly installments of $4,310, beginning January 1, 20X2. The repayments yield an effective interest rate of 11% at a present value of $200,000 and 12.4% at a present value of $194,000. What amount of income from this loan should Money report in its 20X1 income statement?
A.$0
B.$1,833
CORRECT ANSWER C.$2,005
D.$7,833
Net proceeds of the loan were $194,000 and the effective interest rate was 12.4%. The journal entry to record the December 31, 20X1, accrual of interest would be:
Debit Accrued Interest Receivable 2,005
Credit Interest Income 2,005
(12.4% x $194,000 x 1/12)
The interest income reflects the effective interest rate applied to the net proceeds received. This is an application of the “effective interest” method.
