(L09) (Expected Cash Flows) On January 1, 2017, Botosan Company issued a $1,200,000, 5-year, zero-interestbearing note to National Organization Bank. The note was issued to yield 8% annual interest. Unfortunately, during 2018 Botosan fell into financial trouble due to increased competition. After reviewing all available evidence on December 31, 2018, National Organization Bank decided that the loan was impaired. Botosan will probably pay back only $800,000 of the principal at maturity.
