NOTES RECEIVABLE

Notes receivable – are claims supported by formal promises to pay


usually in the form of notes.

Promissory note – is a written contract when a maker (creditor)


promises to pay the payee (debtor) a definite sum of money at a fixed
and determinable future time.

Dishonored notes – when a promissory note matures and is not paid.


It should be removed from the notes receivable account and
transferred to accounts receivable.

INITIAL MEASUREMENT OF NOTES RECEIVABLE


1. Short-term – measured initially at face amount.
2. Long-term – Depend on whether the notes are interest bearing or
non-interest bearing.
a. Interest bearing – measured initially at face amount which
actually the present value upon issuance. (nakaseparate yung
interest sa face amount and given yung interest rate)
 Compounded interest – any accrued interest receivable
also earns interest. (Face amount + accrued interest) ×
(interest rate)
b. Non-interest bearing – measured initially at present value.
Non-interest is a misnomer because all notes implicitly contain
interest. (Included na yung interest sa face amount)
 Present value – is the sum of all future cash flows
discounted using the effective interest rate.

SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT
Long-term Non-interest bearing notes receivable – measured initially
at amortized cost using effective interest method.
 Amortized cost – is the amount at which the note receivable
is measured initially:
a. Minus principal repayment.
b. Plus or minus cumulative amortization of any difference
between the initial carrying amount and the principal
maturity amount.
c. Minus reduction for impairment or uncollectibility.

FORMULAS
1. Interest bearing
 accrued interest receivable = interest rate × face
amount
 Compounded interest – (face amount + accrued
interest) × (interest rate)
2. Non-interest bearing
NOTE: 4 decimal places for present value factor
 Present value = (1 + rate) ÷² =(press equal kung ilang
years)
 Present value ordinary annuity = (1 + rate) ÷² =(press
equal kung ilang years) – 1 ÷ rate
