Baker inc. acquired equipment from the manufacturer on 10/1/2018 and gave a noninterest-bearing note in exchange. baker is obligated to pay $918,000 on 4/1/2019 to satisfy the obligation in full. if baker accrued interest of $9,000 on the note in its 2018 year-end financial statements, what is its imputed annual interest rate?

4%

Explanation:

Interest included in $918000 is for six months from 10/1/18 to 4/1/12.

Interest for first three month period from 10/1/18 to 31/12/18 = $9000.

This implies that :

Interest from 1/1/19 to 4/1/19 = $9000.

Principal amount excluding interest due:

= Baker's obligation amount - Accrued interest - Accrued interest

= $918,000 - $9,000 - $9,000

= $900,000

Interest rate:

= [($9,000 × 12/3) ÷ 900000] × 100

= 4%

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
