  13. Learning Unit 15-3 • Sometimes notes are exchanged for cash at the bank (discounting). • The number of days (up to maturity) that the bank will hold the note is called the discount period. • Maturity value becomes the new principal (of the note) used to compute bank interest to be charged on the note.

  14. Learning Unit 15-3 • Bank discount is the amount of interest the bank will charge on the note. • Cash proceeds is the amount of cash that will be received. • Interest is deducted on the day the note is discounted and the money borrowed. • That means the business uses less cash.

  15. Learning Unit 15-3 • The bank will receive the exact maturity value at due date. • No interest is computed at that time. • What are the steps? Compute maturity value: Interest = Principal × Rate × Time Principal + Interest = Maturity Value

  16. Learning Unit 15-3 Calculate discount period: Number of days bank holds the note Bank discount = Maturity value × Bank discount rate (interest rate) × No. days bank holds note ÷ by 360.

  20. Learning Unit 15-3 • If a note is dishonored, it is charged back to the customer using maturity value plus penalties as the new principal amount.

  23. Learning Unit 15-4 • At maturity, the amount that has to be repaid is the exact face value of the note. • The discount is a contra-account that is written off to interest expense over the life of the note.

  24. Learning Unit 15-4 • Interest expense and interest income will be computed up to the last day of the accounting period. • An adjusting entry will be made to recognize interest expense as a debit and accounts payable as a credit. • An adjusting entry will be made to recognize interest earned as a credit and interest receivable as a debit.
