Answer 1

truck 26,000 debit

note payable 26,000 credit

interext expense 130.00 debit

note payable 480.61 debit

cash 610.61 credit

Step-by-step explanation:

issuance:

we record the entry of the truck into the books and we also record the promissory note signed.

interest payment:

principal x rate x time = interest

being rate 6% annual

and payment monthly we convert the rate:

6% = 0.06 annual --> 0.06/12 = 0.005 monthly --> 0.5%

26,000 x 0.5% = 130

610.61 - 130 = 480.61
