The financial statements of Bavarian Sausage Works (BSW) dated December 31, 2020, show $50,000 for Note receivable.
Question:
The financial statements of Bavarian Sausage Works (BSW) dated December 31, 2020, show $50,000 for “Note receivable.” You learn that the company provided $50,000 cash to a customer (a new chain of hot dog stands) in exchange for a promissory note. The note was issued on January 1, 2019, bearing interest at 12% per year (which approximates the market interest rate), with principal and interest of $56,000 due on January 1, 2020. The hot dog chain has had numerous delays obtaining the required licences to operate on street corners. Consequently, on January 1, 2020, the chain and BSW renegotiated the promissory note so that the $56,000 in principal and interest would come due on January 1, 2022. Aside from the initial recording of the note receivable on January 1, 2019, BSW has not recorded any other journal entries relating to this note.
