Solution

a. The note should be initially measured at its present value. Since the note is non-interest-bearing, the present value is calculated using the prevailing interest rate of 9%. The formula for present value is:

PV = FV / (1 + r)^n

where: PV = Present Value FV = Future Value r = Interest Rate n = Number of Periods

In this case, FV = P1,600,000, r = 9% or 0.09, and n = 4 years.

PV = P1,600,000 / (1 + 0.09)^4 PV = P1,600,000 / 1.4116 PV = P1,133,079.45

So, the note should be initially measured at P1,133,079.45.

b. The amortization table would look like this:

Year Beginning Balance Interest Expense (9%) Reduction of Principal Ending Balance
2022 P1,133,079.45 P101,977.15 P398,022.85 P735,056.60
2023 P735,056.60 P66,155.09 P433,844.91 P301,211.69
2024 P301,211.69 P27,108.85 P472,891.15 P-171,679.46
2025 P-171,679.46 P-15,451.15 P515,451.15 P0

c. The journal entries would be:

2022: Dr. Equipment P1,133,079.45 Cr. Notes Payable P1,133,079.45

Dr. Interest Expense P101,977.15 Cr. Cash P101,977.15

2023: Dr. Interest Expense P66,155.09 Cr. Cash P66,155.09

2024: Dr. Interest Expense P27,108.85 Cr. Cash P27,108.85

2025: Dr. Interest Expense P-15,451.15 Cr. Cash P-15,451.15

Please note that the negative interest expense in 2025 is due to the fact that the note was overpaid in the previous years. This could be adjusted in the actual accounting depending on the company's policies.
