On January 1, 20X4, Parke Company borrowed $360,000 from a major customer evidenced by a non-interest bearing note due in three years and Parke did not elect the fair value option. Parke agreed to supply the customer's inventory needs for the loan period at lower than market price. At the 12% imputed interest rate for this type of loan, the present value of the note is $255,000 at January 1, 20X4. What amount of interest expense should be included in Parke's 20X4 income statement

Parke Company

The amount of interest expense should be included in Parke's 20X4 income statement is:

= $30,600.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

3-year Non-interest bearing note payable = $360,000

Imputed interest rate for this type of loan = 12%

Present value of the loan = $255,000

Interest expense as of December 31, 20X4 = $30,600 ($255,000 * 12%)

b) The interest expense is based on the present value of the loan and not on the future value of the note payable.  Therefore, the interest expense for each of the three years will not be the same amount but will continue to increase as the present value changes from one year to the next.
