I can find nothing on this! It's making me crazy! I have a case study just like the last. I will upload the document you mad for me and the case study. Can you help me with the resources? The solution in my mind is: Because it is determined to be less than one percent, they total up the interest cost and accrue it pro rata by the years of the CD and make note on the financials, any adjustments are made in the following years financials with a subsequent note.
