On January 2, 2017, Pharoah Co. issued a 4-year, $126,000 note at 6% fixed interest, interest payable semiannually. Pharoah now wants to change the note to a variable-rate note. As a result, on January 2, 2017, Pharoah Co. enters into an interest rate swap where it agrees to receive 6% fixed and pay LIBOR of 5.80% for the first 6 months on $126,000. At each 6-month period, the variable rate will be reset. The variable rate is reset to 6.70% on June 30, 2017. (a) Compute the net interest expense to be reported for this note and related swap transaction as of June 30, 2017.

    interest expense 3,654 debit

    cash 3,654 credit

    Explanation:

    For the first 6 month the note will pay 5.80% interest for the subsequent 6 month will pay at 6.70%

    We do for the period Jan 2,2017 to June 30,2017

    variable LIBOR rate:

    126,000 x 5.80% / 2 = 3654

    fixed rate of the promissory note:

    126,000 x 6.00% / 2 = 3,780

    difference: 126 in our favor.

    We pay the variable rate, not the fixed rate. THerefore, we made the entry for the variable rate
