1.

There was no established exchange price for the patent, and the note had no ready market. The prevailing rate of interest for a note of this type at April 1, 2017, was 12%. The present value of \(1 for two periods at 12% is 0.797 (use this factor). The patent had a carrying value of \)40,000 at January 1, 2017, and the amortization for the year ended December 31, 2017, would have been \(8,000. The collection of the note receivable from Pennsylvania is reasonably assured.

The equal annual payments of principal and interest on the note will be \(45,125 payable on July 1, 2018, through July 1, 2021. The land could have been sold at an established cash price of \)200,000. The cost of the land to Braddock was $150,000.
