Answer 1

Answer:

cash 40,000 debit

  note payable 40,000 credit

--to record signing of note----

interest expense 300 debit

     interest payable    300 credit

--to record accrued interest----

note payable  40,000 debit

interest payable   300 debit

interest expense  600 debit

   cash                            40,900 credit

--to record honor of the note---

Explanation:

when signing the note we receive the cash and delcare the liability

at December 31th

we recognzie the accrued interest: for the month

we need to convert the annual rate to monthly: 0.09/12 = 0.0075

40,000 x 0.0075 = 300

at payment of the note, we write-off the note

we pay the full interest:

300 per month x 3 month = 900

we already accrued one so the expense will be for 600
