(interest payable annually).

(a) On January 1, 2015, Excess Inc. purchased undeveloped land that had an assessed value of $261,000
at the time of purchase. A $500,000, zero-interest-bearing note due January 1, 2020, was given in
exchange. There was no established exchange price for the land, nor a ready market value for the note.

(b) On January 1, 2015, DonnAll Diamond borrowed $1,000,000 (face value) from Allstar Co., a major
customer, through a zero-interest-bearing note due in 3 years. Because the note was zero-inter-
est-bearing, DonnAll agreed to sell diamonds to this customer at lower than market price. A 12%
rate of interest is normally charged on this type of loan. Prepare the journal entry to record this
transaction and determine the amount of interest expense to report for 2015.

6 E14-18B (Imputation of Interest with Right) On January 1, 2014, Devlin Co. borrowed and received
$200,000 from a major customer evidenced by a zero-interest-bearing note due in 3 years. As considera-
tion for the zero-interest-bearing feature, Devlin agrees to supply the customer’s inventory needs for the
loan period at lower than the market price. The appropriate rate at which to impute interest is 8%.

Instructions
(a) Prepare the journal entry to record the initial transaction on January 1, 2014. (Round all computa-
tions to the nearest dollar.)
(b) Prepare the journal entry to record any adjusting entries needed at December 31, 2014. Assume

fair value option for these notes.
(b) At what amount will the note be reported on Emily’s 2015 statement of financial position?
(c) What is the effect of recording the fair value option on these notes on Emily’s 2016 income?
(d) Assuming that general market interest rates have been stable over the period, does the fair
value data for the notes indicate that Emily’s creditworthiness has improved or declined in
2016? Explain.

ing regional economy. On December 31, 2014, 2nd State Bank agrees to accept some undeveloped land and
