October 31: Payments on an installment note
Last year, on October 31, the company is issued a $12,000
installment note payable. The interest rate on the note 5% and the
note is to be paid over 5 equal annual installments that include
interest on the unpaid balance. Use the Present Value Table for
an Ordinary Annuity and determine the amount of the
installment payments. Find the future value factor for 5 time
periods at 5%. Divide the face value of the installment note by this
factor. The result is the amount of the installment payments that
include interest on the unpaid balance. Subtract the interest of
$600 (=$12,000 x 0.05) from the result to determine the amount of
the reduction on the principle of the installment note. Record this
transaction as a compound entry. Check Number 10505, Invoice
Number INPAY.
