    Dr Trucks 18,555

    Dr Discount on Notes Payable 1,445

    Cr Cash 2,500

    Cr Notes Payable 17,500

    Explanation:

    Since the seller accepted a zero interest bearing note, that is equivalent to making a discount. To determine the discount on the note, we have to calculate the present value of the note: discount rate is 9% and present value is $17,500

    present value of the note = $17,500 / (1 + 9%) = $16,055

    discount on the note = $17,500 - $16,055 = $1,445

    So the purchase price of the truck would be:

    $2,500 down payment + $16,055 = $18,555
