Question

On January 1, 2021, the Montgomery Company agreed to purchase a building by making six payments. The first three are to be $37,000 each, and will be paid on December 31, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The last three are to be $52,000 each and will be paid on December 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026. Montgomery borrowed other money at a 11% annual rate. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: 1. At what amount should Montgomery record the note payable and corresponding cost of the building on January 1, 2021

Answer 1

cost of the building = $183,331.14

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to calculate the present value of all the future annual payments using the 11% discount rate:

$37,000 x 2.4437 (PVIFA, 11%, 3 periods) = $90,416.90

($52,000 x 2.4437) / (1 + 11%)³ = $92,914.24

total present value = $183,331.14
