Question:
On August 31, 2020, Red Leaf Corp. paid the Montreal Dominion Bank part of an outstanding $300,000 long-term 10% note payable obtained one year earlier (August 31, 2019), by paying $180,000 plus $18,000 interest. In order to do this, Red Leaf used $51,211 cash and signed a new one-year, zero-interest-bearing $160,000 note discounted at 9% by Montreal Dominion Bank (i.e., the bank issued a note at a discount designed to provide a 9% return over the one year period).
Required :
1. Prepare the entry to record the refinancing.
2. Prepare the adjusting entry at December 31, 2020 in connection with the new zero interest bearing note.
***some answers I've seen state a value of $1,189 for prepaid notes payable however there is explanation given to how that number was calculated and why.
