Answer:

a) journal entry to record land purchase

January 1, 2020

Dr Land 360,000

Dr Discount on notes payable 246,621

    Cr Notes payable 606,621

journal entry to record purchase of equipment

January 1, 2020

Dr Equipment 444,725.96

Dr Discount on notes payable 115,274.04

    Cr Notes payable 560,000

present value of $560,000 using bank interest rate = $560,000 / 1.11⁸ = $242,998.84

annual interest payment = $560,000 x 7% = $39,200

PV of annuity = $39,200 x 5.1461 (PV annuity factor, 11%, 8 periods) = $201,727.12

total present value of notes payable = $242,998.84 + $201,727.12 = $444,725.96

discount on notes payable = $560,000 - $444,725.96 = $115,274.04

b) interest expense for the first notes payable (used to purchase land) = $360,000 x 11% = $39,600

interest expense for the second note

cash paid = $560,000 x 7% = $39,200
