Based on the information available in the question, we can answer as follows:-

	Particulars	Amount	Amount
1.)	Trucks	27,383
	To Cash a/c		27,383
	(To record the purchase of Trucks)

	Particulars	Amount	Amount

	Discount on Notes Payable A/c	2,278
	To Cash a/c		3,940
	To Notes Payable a/c		27,580

The value of trucks is calculated as follows:-

Present value of $27,580 at 9% for 1 year = $27,580 * PVIF(9%, 1 year)

Present value = $27,580*0.9174

Present value = $25,302

Trucks = $25,302 + $3,940

Trucks = $29,242
