Present Value of Notes Receivable
  
[Key Concept]
Present value of notes receivable
          = Present value of face amount + Present value of interest payments

Present value calculation is based on market interest rate.
 
[Exercise 1:  Non-Interest Bearing Note Receivable]
On January 1, 2011, Company A sold its products to Company B and received a non-interest bearing note with $200,000 face amount and due on December 31, 2012.  At the time of issuance, market interest rate is 12%.  What is the present value of the note receivable?
 
[Solution to Exercise 1]
Market interest rate = 12%
          r = 0.12 (per annual period),  
          n = 2 (annual periods)

Present value of face amount
          = $200,000 x Present value factor for a single payment (12%, 2 periods)
          = $200,000 x 0.7972
          = $159,440
 
  Present value factor for a single payment (12%, 2 periods) = 0.7972

    From present value of a single payment table
or Excel function --> " = PV (rate, nper, pmt, fv, type) "
                          --> " = PV (12%, 2,    ,  1, 0) "
                          --> 0.7972

    Type = 0 or omitted, if payment is made at the end of period.
            = 1, if payment is made at the beginning of period.

Present value of interest amount
          = 0  (non-interest bearing note)

Present value of note receivable
          = Present value of face amount + Present value of interest payments
          = $159,440 + $0 = $159,440

Discount on note receivable
          = Face amount - Present value
          = $200,000 - $159,440 = $40,560

Amortization of discount on note receivable
          --> Effective interest method
 

Date Interest received Effective interest rate for annual period Interest income Amortization of discount Present value of note receivable
1/1/2011         $159,440
12/31/2011 $0 12% $19,132 $19,232 $178,572
12/31/2012 $0 12% $21,428 $21,428 $200,000

Interest income
   = Present value of note at the beginning of the period
         x Effective interest rate for the period

      [1/1/2011 - 12/31/2011]  --> $159,440 x 12% = $19,132
      [1/1/2012 - 12/31/2012]  --> $178,572 x 12% = $21,428

Amortization of discount on note
   = Interest income - Interest received

      [1/1/2011 - 12/31/2011]  --> $19,232 - $0 = $19,232
      [1/1/2012 - 12/31/2012]  --> $21,428 - $0 = $21,428
 

 
[Exercise 2:  Interest Bearing Note Receivable]
On January 1, 2011, Company A sold its products to Company C and received a note with $200,000 face amount, 10% annual stated interest rate, and due on December 31, 2012.  Interest is paid annually on December 31, each year.  At the time of issuance, market interest rate is 12%.  What is the present value of the note receivable?

[Solution to Exercise 2]
Market interest rate = 12%
          r = 0.12 (per annual period),  
          n = 2 (annual periods)

Present value of face amount
          = $200,000 x Present value factor for a single payment (12%, 2 periods)
          = $200,000 x 0.7972
          = $159,440

  Present value factor for a single payment (12%, 2 periods) = 0.7972

    From present value of a single payment table
or Excel function --> " = PV (rate, nper, pmt, fv, type) "
                          --> " = PV (12%, 2,    ,  1, 0) "
                          --> 0.7972

    Type = 0 or omitted, if payment is made at the end of period.
            = 1, if payment is made at the beginning of period.
 
Present value of interest amount
          = $20,000 x Present value factor for an ordinary annuity (12%, 2 periods)
          = $20,000 x 1.6901
          = $33,802

    Annual interest amount = $200,000 x 10% stated interest rate = $20,000
 
  Present value factor for an ordinary annuity (12%, 2 periods) = 1.6901

    From present value of an ordinary annuity table
or Excel function --> " = PV (rate, nper, pmt, fv, type) "
                          --> " = PV (12%, 2, 1 ,   , 0) "
                          --> 1.6901

    Type = 0 or omitted, if payment is made at the end of period.
            = 1, if payment is made at the beginning of period.

Present value of note receivable
          = Present value of face amount + Present value of interest payments
          = $159,440 + $33,802 = $193,242

Discount on note receivable
          = Face amount - Present value
          = $200,000 - $193,242 = $6,758
 
Amortization of discount on note receivable
          --> Effective interest method

Date Interest received Effective interest rate for annual period Interest income Amortization of discount Present value of note receivable
1/1/2011         $193,242
12/31/2011 $20,000 12% $23,189 $3,189 $196,431
12/31/2012 $20,000 12% $23,569 $3,569 $200,000

Interest income
   = Present value of note at the beginning of the period
         x Effective interest rate for the period

      [1/1/2011 - 12/31/2011]  --> $193,242 x 12% = $23,189
      [1/1/2012 - 12/31/2012]  --> $178,572 x 12% = $21,428

Amortization of discount on note
   = Interest income - Interest received

      [1/1/2011 - 12/31/2011]  --> $23,189 - $20,000 = $3,189
      [1/1/2012 - 12/31/2012]  --> $23,569 - $20,000 = $3,569
