FDNACCT 05 · Promissory Notes
Conventions
Amounts are Philippine pesos (₱). Use accrual accounting and periodic inventory unless explicitly stated. Interest uses annual rates with days/360 or months/12; maturity dates use actual calendar days, excluding issue date. Cash-discount cases explicitly state the course original-balance convention. Numeric answers omit currency symbols; round monetary answers to two decimal places when needed. Each question supplies its own complete facts and is independent. No VAT or period-end adjustments apply unless stated.
