    Payment Installments/ Long-Term Liabilities
    Hey, I got this problem in accounting that has to do with long term liabilities. I created a complete payment schedule, and tried 2 different versions of answers, this is what I thought was the closest, but apparently it is wrong, could someone help out with this.

    Problem:

    Fowler purchased a new piece of equipment to be used in its new facility. The $550,000 piece of equipment was purchased with a $50,000 down payment and with cash received through the issuance of a $500,000, 8%, 4-year mortgage note payable issued on October 1, 2007. The terms provide for quarterly installment payments of $36,825 on December 31, March 31, June 30, and September 30.

    (Round all amounts to 0 decimal places. For multiple debit/credit entries, list accounts in order of magnitude.)
    __________________________________________________ ________________________
    Prepare an installment payments schedule for the first five payments of the notes payable. Fill in the following amounts for each quarter.

    Qtr. One cash payment $ 36825
    Qtr. Two interest expense $ 19,327
    Qtr. Three reduction of principal $ 18,918
    Qtr. Four principal balance $ 427,804
    Qtr. Five interest expense $ 17,112


    Prepare the necessary journal entry related to the notes payable for December 31, 2007.

    Dec. 31 Mortgage Notes Payable 26825
    Interest Expense 10000
    Cash 36825
    __________________________________________________ ________________
    Show balance sheet presentation for these obligations for December 31, 2007.

    Current liabilities:
    Current portion of 8% mortgage notes payable $ 112773

    Long-term liabilities:
    Mortgage notes payable, 8% due in 2011 and secured by plant assets $ 660,000

Short term vs long term capital gains, loss carryovers [ 4 Answers ]

Back in 2000 and 2001, I had short term capital losses that exceeded the 3000 dollar limit. Each year, I've been able to deduct 3000 dollars since my short term gains have been minimal. I still haven't used up all my 2000 and 2001 short term losses. I had some long term gains in 2000, but...
