How much sales revenue would Wright recognize on January 1, 2021, for this transaction

Answer 1

Sales revenue = $408,823.60

Step-by-step explanation:

we must first determine the present value of the note:

PV = $515,000 / (1 + 8%)³ = $515,000 / 1.08³ = $408,823.60

discount on the note = $515,000 - $408,823.60 = $106,176.40

the journal entry should be:

January 1, 2021, school buses sold to Elmira School District

Dr Notes receivable 515,000

Cr Sales revenue 408,823.60
