Notes Receivable Notes
Notes Receivable
-claims supported by a formal promise to pay a certain sum of money at a
specific future date, usually in the form of promissory notes
-claims arising only from sale of merchandise or service in the ordinary
course of business
-may be payable on demand or at a definite future date
o Negotiable Promissory Note- an unconditional promise in writing that a
maker signs in favour of a designated payee who may legally sell or
transfer the note to others
Dishonored Notes
-a matured promissory note which is not paid
-dishonored notes receivable are removed from notes receivable account
and transferred to accounts receivable
INITIAL MEASUREMENT
Notes Receivable are measured initially at present value which is the sum of all
future cash flows discounted using the prevailing market rate (effective interest
rate) of interest for similar notes
Short- term notes receivable are measured at face value
CLASSIFICATION OF NOTES:
Interest- bearing notes
-notes that have a stated interest rate
-measured at face value which is usually the present value upon issuance
Noninterest- bearing notes
-notes that do not have a stated interest rate because they include the
interest as part of the face amount
-measured at present value which is the discounted value of the future
cash flows using the effective interest rate
SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT
Long-term notes receivable shall be measured at amortized cost using effective
interest method (PFRS 9, paragraph 5.2.1)
Amortized Cost -the amount at which note receivable is measured initially at:
o Initial recognition minus principal repayments
o Plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest of
any difference between the initial amount and the maturity amount
o Minus reduction for impairment or uncollectibility
The amortized cost of Noninterest- bearing notes receivable is the present value
plus amortization of the discount or face value minus unamortized unearned
interest income
