On October 1, 2005, Fleur Retailers signed a 4-month, 16% note payable to finance the purchase of holiday merchandise. At that date, there was no direct method of pricing the merchandise, and the note's market rate of interest was 11%.

Fleur recorded the purchase at the note's face amount. All of the merchandise was sold by December 1, 2005. Fleur's 2005 financial statements reported interest payable and interest expense on the note for three months at 16%. All amounts due on the note were paid February 1, 2006.

Fleur's 2005 cost of goods sold for the holiday merchandise was

ans = Understated by the difference between the note's face amount and the note's October 1, 2005 present value.

..........

can any one plz explain it to me.

Since there is no direct method of pricing the inventory, the amount assigned to it will be the PV of the note payable. Since the note was issued at 16% face, yet the market was 11%, it was issued at a premium (more value received from the holder to effectively reduce his return on the note down to 11%).

Since the inventory was recorded at the face amount, it is understated by the amount of the premium on the note.
