Solution

The note should be initially measured at the present value of the future payments.

Here are the steps to calculate it:

  1. Identify the cash flows: The note is payable in annual installments of P400,000 for four years.

  2. Identify the discount rate: The prevailing rate of interest for the note of the same type is 9%.

  3. Calculate the present value of each cash flow: The present value of each cash flow is calculated by dividing the cash flow by (1 + discount rate) raised to the power of the period number.

  4. Sum up the present values: The initial measurement of the note is the sum of the present values of all cash flows.

Let's calculate:

Year 1: P400,000 / (1 + 0.09)^1 = P366,972.48 Year 2: P400,000 / (1 + 0.09)^2 = P336,697.70 Year 3: P400,000 / (1 + 0.09)^3 = P308,808.89 Year 4: P400,000 / (1 + 0.09)^4 = P283,479.17

Add these up: P366,972.48 + P336,697.70 + P308,808.89 + P283,479.17 = P1,295,958.24

So, the note should be initially measured at P1,295,958.24.
