Answer 1

Answer:

Notes payable is debited by $6,900, Interest expense is debited by $69 and cash is credited by $6,969

Explanation:

Interest = Principal Amount * Rate * Number of days  / 360

Interest = $6,900 * 6% * 60/360

Interest = $69

Cash to be paid = Principal Amount + Interest

Cash to be paid = $6,900 + $69

Cash to be paid = $6,969

On the date of maturity, the journal entry to make the payment of note payable is:

Date     Account Title and Explanation      Debit     Credit

June 11  Note payable                                   $6,900  

             Interest expenses                            $69

                     Cash                                                          $6,969

              (To record the payment of notes payable along with interest)
