The Parry Glitter Company recently loaned $300,000 to FIX 92, a local radio station. The radio station signed a noninterest-bearing note requiring the $300,000 to be repaid in three years. As part of the agreement, the radio station will provide Parry with a specified amount of free radio advertising over the three-year term of the note.

The focus of this case is the valuation of the note receivable by Parry Glitter Company and the treatment of the "free" advertising provided by the radio station. The mission of this discussion is to reach a consensus on the appropriate note valuation and accounting treatment of the free advertising.
