Answer:
Merchandise inventory 20,388.82 debit
Note payable 20,388.82 credit
Explanation:
First we calculate the present value of the annuity at 9% discount rate
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C 5,400.00
time 6
rate 0.09
[tex]5400 \times \frac{1-(1+0.09)^{-6} }{0.09} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $26,404.1168
Then, we discount this value by the three year grace period between the purchase and the first payment
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 26,404.12
time 3.00
rate 0.09000
[tex]\frac{26404.1168220993}{(1 + 0.09)^{3} } = PV[/tex]
PV 20,388.8228
