Present value = future value x present value factor (3 years, ??
interest
rate) i.e., $75,600 = $86,400 x present value factor (3 years, ??
interest rate)
Dividing both sides by $86,400, we have
Alternately, this can also be obtained by interpolation.
Present value of Restructured Present value of
future flows @ 4% note amount future flows @ 5%
$1,209.60
Then,
82.173,2$
60.209,1$
= .556
So the interpolated rate is 4% + .556% or 4.556%.
12/31/14: To record interest payable:
[$75,600 x 4.556% = $3,444]
Interest expense is calculated at 4.556% of the book value of the
notes payable as of January 1, 2017.
12/31/18: To record interest payable:
