Final answer:
Ott Co. should record sales revenue of $856,848 in January 2024, based on the immediate payment of $160,000 and the present value of the remaining six payments calculated using the provided present value factor for an ordinary annuity of 1 at 10% for six periods.
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer how much Ott Co. should record as sales revenue in January 2024 from the zero-interest-bearing note issued to Flynn Company, the present value of the note payable should be calculated using the prevailing interest rate of 10%. Since the first payment of $160,000 is made immediately on January 1, 2024, the present value of an ordinary annuity should be used for the remaining six payments.
To calculate the present value of the ordinary annuity of the remaining six payments, we use the provided present value factor for an ordinary annuity of 1 at 10% for six periods:
Present Value of Ordinary Annuity of 1 at 10% for 6 periods: 4.3553
Sales revenue is calculated as follows:
Immediate payment on January 1, 2024: $160,000
Present Value of the remaining six payments: $160,000 × 4.3553 = $696,848
Total sales revenue recorded in January 2024: $160,000 + $696,848 = $856,848
Therefore, Ott Co. should record sales revenue of $856,848 in January 2024.
