Hindberg is a car retailer. On 1 April 2014, Hindberg sold a car to Latterly on the following terms:
The selling price of the car was $25,300. Latterly paid $12,650 (half of the cost) on 1 April 2014 and would pay the remaining $12,650 on 31 March 2016 (two years after the sale). Hindberg’s cost of capital is 10% per annum.
What is the total amount which Hindberg should credit to profit or loss in respect of this transaction in the year ended 31 March 2015?
A.$23,105
B.$23,000
C.$20,909
D.$24,150
正确答案：DAt 31 March 2015, the deferred consideration of $12,650 would need to be discounted by 10% for one year to $11,500 (effectively deferring a finance cost of $1,150). The total amount credited to profit or loss would be $24,150 (12,650 + 11,500).
