Liabilities and Interest Rates
In many cases a liability the effective interest rate
associated with a liability will be stated in the borrowing
rate will be
stated or the stated rate will be abnormally low. In these
cases the effective rate must be imputed and used to
record interest expense.
Example 1: On January 1, 2007, Medina Corporation
borrowed $100,000 for two years. The borrowing
agreem
ent requires Medina to repay $100,000 plus
interest at the 8% rate at the end of the two year period.

Example 2: On January 1, 2007,
Guadalupe
Corporation
borrowed
money to finance a new operation. The
borrowing agreement contained the following terms: No
interest rate was mentioned, but
Guadalupe
received
$420,840 on 1/1/07 and will be required to pay back
$500,000 when the loan matures in 2 years.

value ($500,000). That rate is 9%.

Economic Gains and Losses from Borrowing
–
the current
accounting for borrowing determines the effective
interest rate when bonds are issued. Subsequent
changes in interest rates are ignored which means in
most cases the economic gains and losses from
borrowing will not be recognized in the financial
statements.
