Explanation / Answer

Solution 1 & 2:

Total cost of purchase = $25,700,000

Interest rate = 12%, 1% monthly rate

Nos of monthly installment = 12

Equal monthly installment = $25,700,000 / Cumulative PV factor at 1% for 12 periods

= $25,700,000 / 11.25508 = $2,283,414

Solution 3:

Interest for December month = ($25,700,000 - 2,026,414) * 1% = $236,736

Total interest for november and december 2018 = $257,000 + $236,736 = $493,736

Therefore $493,736 will be reported as interest expense in income statement for period ended Dec 31, 2018
