Effective-rate

interest expense 24.192.09 debit

cash 22,500.00 credit

discount on BP 1,692.09 credit

--first payment - -

interest expense 24.276.69 debit

cash 22,500.00 credit

discount on BP 1,776.69 credit

--second payment--

Explanation:

First, We sovle for the amount of the discount

face value 500,000

proceeds 483,841.79

discount 16,158.21‬

under straight line we divide this for the total payments of the loan:

16,158.21 / 8 payments = 2.019,77625‬

This will be added to the cash outlay to get interst expense:

500,000 x 9% / 2 = 22,500

Now, under effective rate:

carrying value x market rate = interest expense

and the difference with the cash outlay is amortization

483,841.79 x 0.05 = 24,192.09

cash outlay (22,500)

amortization 1,692.09

Then second payment:

(483,841.79+1,692.09) = fair value = 485.533,88

485.533,88 x 0.05 = 24.276.69

cash outlay (22,500)

amortization 1,776.69
