Since I missed all the excitement while I was working on a different client, why dont you share the details of the transaction? demanded Sylvia. Well, MicroDex was carrying the investment at $5,100,000 and sold it to Greenco for $8,000,000. So they booked a $2,900,000 gain on the transaction, Daniel confidentially replied. Sylvia looked troubled and finally confided to Daniel, Im enrolled in a CPA review course and last week we studied long term receivables and payables. I learned that generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require notes receivable due in more than one year to be carried at their present value. Wouldnt that affect the profit you reported? Daniel looked at Sylvia like she was trying to put him on the spot and icily replied, I explained that MicroDex didnt incur any interest on this investment before the sale, so present value calculations arent necessary! And, yes, the income statement we audited is consistent with GAAP.
