On January 1, 2020, Batonica Limited issued a $1.2-million, five-year, zero-interest-bearing note to Northern Savings Bank. The note was issued to yield 8% annual interest. Unfortunately, during 2020 Batonica fell into financial trouble due to increased competition. After reviewing all available evidence on December 31, 2020, Northern Savings Bank decided that the loan was impaired and that there was a significant change in credit risk. Batonica will probably pay back only $800,000 of the principal at maturity. For simplicity, assume that this reflects the probability-weighted amount. Both Batonica and Northern Savings Bank prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS 9. 

Instructions

d. Using (1) factor tables, (2) a financial calculator, or (3) Excel function PV, estimate the loss that Northern Savings Bank will suffer from Batonica's financial distress on December 31, 2020. What journal entries should be made to record this loss?
