Explanation:

Non interest bearing notes must be recorded at present value, so we need to determine the present value of the payment:

Payment due December 21, 2021, PV = $40,000 / (1 + 8%) = $37,037

Payment due December 21, 2022, PV = $40,000 / (1 + 8%)² = $34,294

We use the discount on notes receivable account (contra asset account) to decrease the net value of notes receivable.

the answerr would be 1
