=97. When Our Note Has Been Discounted.= The Western Grocer Co. has
either discounted the note or placed it in the bank for collection, and
it is presented for payment by the Merchants Bank. We give them a check
in payment, and the entry is:
Bills Payable $100.00
Bank $100.00
Check to Merchants Bank to pay our note to Western Grocer Co., due Oct.
10.
The entry in this case is the same as in the previous illustration,
with the exception of the explanation.
=98. When We Pay Our Note With Interest.= We give our note to Western
Grocer Co. for $100.00 payable in 30 days, with interest at 6%. We pay
the note by check, and the entry is:
Bills Payable $100.00
Interest and Discount .50
Bank $100.50
Paid Western Grocer Co. note due Oct. 10, by check No. 10.
=99. When We Discount Our Note.= We wish to borrow $100.00 from the
bank, and give our note for the amount, payable in 30 days. The bank
discounts the note, placing the proceeds to our credit. The rate of
interest charged is 6%. Our entry is:
Bank $99.50
Interest and Discount .50
Bills Payable $100.00
Note for $100.00, 30 days discounted at bank.
=100. When We Pay for Goods With Our Note.= We buy goods from Michigan
Milling Co. to the amount of $100.00, and tender our note at 30 days
with interest, in payment. This makes it unnecessary for us to open an
account with Michigan Milling Co. and the entry is:
Purchases $100.00
Bills Payable $100.00
Invoice #16 from Michigan Milling Co.
Gave note for 30 days with interest at 6%.
=101. When We Renew a Note.= When this note is due, we find it
inconvenient to pay, and give a new note for 30 days, adding the
interest now due to the face of the original note. The amount of the
new note is $100.50, and the entry is:
Interest and Discount $ .50
Bills Payable 100.00
Bills Payable $100.50
New note given Michigan Grocer Co. to renew note due Oct. 10, $100.00,
interest $.50, 30 days, with interest.
=102. When We Renew Our Discounted Note.= When our note given to the
bank is due, we find it inconvenient to pay the entire amount. We give
the bank a check for $50.00, and a new note at 30 days for the balance.
The bank always collects interest in advance, so we shall be obliged to
give them our note for $50.00 plus the interest, or $50.25. In effect,
the bank discounts our note for $50.25, the proceeds, $50.00, paying
the balance of our note now due. The entry is:
Bills Payable $100.00
Interest and Discount .25
Bank $50.00
Bills Payable 50.25
Gave check for $50.00 to apply on note
due at bank to day.
Discounted new note for $50.25, payable in 30 days.
