Question

On April 1, 2020, ABC Company discounted with recourse a 9-month, 10% note dated January 1, 2020 with face of P6,000,000. The bank discount rate is 12%. The discounting transaction is accounted for as a conditional sale with recognition of contingent liability. On October 1, 2020, the maker dishonored the note receivable. The entity paid the bank the maturity value of the note plus protest fee of P50,000. On December 31, 2020, the entity collected the dishonored note in full plus 12% annual interest on the total amount due.

What amount was received from the note discounting on April 1, 2020?

Definition Definition Costs that a business is responsible for paying, should a particular event potentially occur in the future. Also called a potential liability, a contingent liability is generally recorded only when the amount of liability can be reasonably estimated and the contingency is likely to occur shortly. The Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Principles (IFRS) make it mandatory for the companies to record any contingent liability taking the principles of full disclosure, materiality, and prudence into consideration.
