Problem 10-26A: Effect of an Installment Note on Financial Statements
On January 1, Year 1, Brown Co. borrowed cash from First Bank by issuing a $100,000 face-value, four-year term note with an 8 percent annual interest rate. The note requires annual cash payments of $30,192, which include both interest and principal, to be made on December 31 of each year.

Problem 10-27A: Effect of a Line of Credit on Financial Statements
Boyd Company has a line of credit with State Bank, allowing borrowing of up to $400,000 during the Year 1 calendar year. The following table summarizes the prime rate (as an annual percentage) and the amounts borrowed or repaid each month in Year 1. Boyd agreed to an interest rate that is 2 percent higher than the bank’s prime rate. Funds are borrowed or repaid at the start of the month, and interest on the outstanding balance is paid in cash at the end of the month. For example, in January, Boyd pays 7 percent annual interest (5 percent prime + 2 percent) on $100,000.
| Month | Amount Borrowed or (Repaid) | Prime Rate |
|---|---|---|
| January | $100,000 | 5% |
| February | $70,000 | 6% |
| March | $(30,000) | 7% |
| April–October | No Change | No Change |
| November | $(50,000) | 6% |
| December | $(40,000) | 5% |
