Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

On Aug. 1

Merchandise Inventory $75,000  

         To Accounts Payable  $75,000

(Being the purchase of merchandise inventory is recorded)

For recording this we debited the merchandise inventory as it increased the assets and credited the account payable as it also increased the liabilities

On Sept. 1

Accounts Payable $75,000  

           To Notes Payable  $75,000

(Being the issued of note payable on the account is recorded)

For recording this we debited the account payable as it decreased the liabilities and credited the note payable as it increased the liabilities

On Nov. 30

Notes Payable $75,000  

Interest Expense $1,125  ($75,000 × 6% × 90 days ÷ 360 days)

             To Cash  $76,125

(Being cash paid is recorded)

For recording this we debited the note payable and interest expense as it decreased the liabilities and increased the expense and credited the cash as it decreased the assets
