interest expense 446,540.46

  note payable                       23,446,540.46

note payable      23,446,540.46

      cash                                   23,446,540.46

     

L&T Bank:

cash                    23,446,540.46

unearned revenue  446,540.46

           note receivable                 23,446,540.46

           interest revenue                     446,540.46

effective rate: 6%

Explanation:

The note was adjusted to include the interest so it charge interest to the  23,000,000

[tex]\frac{Nominal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]  

Nominal N

time  4 months are 1/3 of a year

rate  6% annual = 0.06

PV          23,000,000

[tex]\frac{N}{(1 + 0.06)^{1/3} } = 23,000,000[/tex]  

[tex]N = 23,000,000 \times (1 + 0.06)^{1/3}[/tex]  

N =  23,446,540.46  

This will be the amount signed on the note, but the company just receive 23,000,000

Effective rate:

will be the same as the loan 6%

As the amount paid was equivalent to the 23,000,000 received capitalize at 6%
