Step-by-step explanation:

The asset is recorded at the discounted value of the note payable.

Discount on the bond = Face value of Loan note - Fair value of equipment = $100,000 - $68,301.30 = $31,698.70

Annual Interest expense = Total Discount on the bond / Numbers of years

Annual Interest expense = $31,698.70 / 4

Annual Interest expense = $7,924.68

The Note will be payable on December 31, 2022 by value of $100,000
