Shortcut Method - Issuer Entries

 

On January 1, 2023, Fontaine Corporation issued an $800,000 notes payable to Allegheny State

Bank. The note pays coupon payments at the rate of 5%, which is also the market rate of interest

when the note was issued. The note matures in three years. Fontaine Corporation entered into an

interest rate swap with the same maturity and notional amount to hedge against falling interest

rates. The swap will result in Fontaine Corporation paying floating rate interest tied to the

prevailing LIBOR rate and receiving fixed rate interest at 5%. Interest payments and cash

settlement occur at the end of each year. LIBOR settlement rates at the end of 2023, 2024, and

2025 are 6%, 7%, and 6%, respectively.

 

a) Prepare the required journal entries for Fontaine Corporation using the shortcut method

for 2023-2025.

b) Indicate how the above entries affect Fontaine Corporation’s reported net earnings for

each year.
