Question

Tony’s favorite memories of his childhood were the times he spent with his dad at camp. Tony was daydreaming of those days a bit as he and Suzie jogged along a nature trail and came across a wonderful piece of property for sale. He turned to Suzie and said, “I’ve always wanted to start a camp where families could get away and spend some quality time together. If we just had the money, I know this would be the perfect place.” They called several banks and on January 1, 2017, Great Adventures obtained a $570,000, 6%, 9-year installment loan from Summit Bank. Monthly payments of $6,843 are required at the end of each month over the life of the 9-year loan. Each monthly payment of $6,843 includes both interest expense and principal payments (i.e., reduction of the loan amount.)

     Late that night Tony exclaimed, “$570,000 for our new camp, this has to be the best news ever.” Suzie snuggled close and said, “There’s something else I need to tell you, Tony, I’m expecting!” They decided right then, if it was a boy, they would name him Venture.

Complete the first three rows of an amortization table.

1/1/2017 - cash paid - interest expense - decrease in carrying value - carrying value

1/31/2017  - cash paid - interest expense - decrease in carrying value - carrying value

2/28/2017  - cash paid - interest expense - decrease in carrying value - carrying value

       

Record the note payable on January 1, 2017, and the first two payments on January 31, 2017, and February 28, 2017. (If no entry is required for a particular transaction, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

Explanation / Answer

The question contains two parts

Part one is to complete the amortisation table

Amortisation table here menas the repayment schedule

Dear student the question clearly specifies that the payment is to be made at the month end for 9 years

Recollecting facts as given in question
Amount of loan
$5,70,000
interest rate : 6%
Monthly instalement : $6843 includes both interest and principal repayment

now repayment schedule

Working note 1: Calcualtion of interest portion
31.01.2017: $570000*6/100=$34200/12 months = $2850

Working note 2: calcualtion of carrying value
31.01.2017: $570000+$2850(interest element as calcualted above)-$6843(monthly repayment as given in question=$566007

Working note 3: calcualtion of interest portion
28.02.2017: $566007(as caluated in working note 2 because now interest will be computed on this balance)
$566007*6/100=$33960.42/12 months=$2830.035

Working note 4:
calculation of carrying value as on 28.02.2017
$566007+$2830.035(interest portion as calculated working note 3)-$6843(monthly repayment)
=$561994.035
