Explanation:
Note payable is document which is payable after a specific period of time.
Note Payable is recorded at the present value of the note face value. We need to discount the face value of the note first.
Interest on the bond = $5,000,000 x 12% x 9/12 = $450,000
On December 31 Interest expense will be recorded and Payment of Note is made.
