Answer 1

Answer: $180

Explanation:

From the question, Federal Bank of America has loaned $9,000 to Southgate Animal Hospital, using a 90-day non-interest-bearing note. The bank discounted the note at 8%.

Therefore, the debit to Discount on Notes Payable in the general journal will be:

= $9,000 × 8% × 90/360

= $9,000 × 8/100 × 1/4

= $9,000 × 0.08 × 0.25

= $180

The correct answer is $180

It should be noted that we used 360 days for a year.
