On December 1, year 2, Money Co. gave Home Co. a $200,000, 11% loan. Money paid proceeds of $194,000 after the deduction of a $6,000 nonrefundable loan origination fee. Principal and interest are due in 60 monthly installments of $4,310, beginning January 1, year 3. The repayments yield an effective interest rate of 11% at a present value of $200,000 and 12.4% at a present value of $194,000. Money does not elect the fair value option to record this financial asset. What amount of income from this loan should Money report in its year 2 income statement?

A

$194,000 x 12.4% = $24,056 / 12 = $2004.66 = $2005

Only $194,000 was loaned so use 12.4% at a present value
