Loan Journal Entries 39Cf1A
1. **Stating the problem:**
We need to prepare journal entries for a loan granted on January 1, 2022, with principal 150,000, interest 10% payable annually, loan matures in 3 years, direct origination cost incurred, and origination fee received. The effective interest rate is 12% after considering fees and costs.
2. **Identify key values:**
- Principal (Face value) = 150,000
- Direct origination cost = ? (not explicitly given, assume 0 for journal entries since only fee and principal given)
- Origination fee received = 342,100 (likely a typo or misinterpretation, assuming it means loan amount net of fees, but since it is higher than principal, treat as fee received)
- Nominal interest rate = 10%
- Effective interest rate = 12%
- Loan term = 3 years
3. **Calculate initial loan amount recorded:**
Loan receivable = Principal - Origination fee + Direct origination cost
Since direct cost is not given, assume 0.
Loan receivable = 150,000 - 342,100 = -192,100 (not logical, so assume origination fee is actually a fee paid by borrower increasing loan amount, so loan amount = 150,000 + 342,100 = 492,100)
4. **Journal entries for 2022:**
- On Jan 1, 2022 (loan granted):
Dr Loan Receivable 492,100
Cr Cash 150,000
Cr Unearned Fee Income 342,100
- On Dec 31, 2022 (interest accrual using effective rate 12%):
Interest revenue = 492,100 * 12% = 59,052
Dr Interest Receivable 59,052
Cr Interest Revenue 59,052
5. **Journal entries for 2023:**
- On Dec 31, 2023 (interest accrual):
Interest revenue = 492,100 * 12% = 59,052
Dr Interest Receivable 59,052
Cr Interest Revenue 59,052
6. **Journal entries for 2024:**
- On Dec 31, 2024 (interest accrual and loan maturity):
Interest revenue = 492,100 * 12% = 59,052
Dr Interest Receivable 59,052
Cr Interest Revenue 59,052
- On Dec 31, 2024 (loan repayment):
Dr Cash 492,100
Cr Loan Receivable 492,100
**Note:** The problem statement has inconsistent data for origination fee and costs. The above assumes origination fee increases loan amount. Adjust accordingly if more data is provided.
