To meet customer demand for its product, Armada Inc. decided to purchase equipment from Southern Ontario Industries on January 2, 2014, and expand its production capacity. Armada issued an $800,000, five-year, non-interest-bearing note to Southern Ontario Industries for the new equipment when the prevailing market interest rate for obligations of this nature was 12%. The company will pay off the note in five $160,000 installments that are due at the end of each year over the life of the note. Armada uses the effective interest method for amortization of any premium or discount.
