Question

Great Adventures obtains a $30,000 low-interest loan for the company from the city council, which has recently passed an initiative encouraging business development related to outdoor activities. The loan is due in three years, and 6% annual interest is due each year on July 31. Record the appropriate journal entry.

Answer 1

Answer:

The journal entry at the time when great adventures obtains the $30,000 loan is:

Account Title                       Debit            Credit

Cash                                     30,000

Notes Payable                                          30,000

The interest accrued at the end of each month would be:

30,000 * 6% = 1,800/12 = $ 150

Interest entry would be made at the end of each month to record the interest expense.
