Final answer:

Four Loco will record a decrease in cash and liabilities when they repay the $100,000 principal and $6,000 interest on October 31, 2019, as they complete the payment on their 1-year notes payable.

Step-by-step explanation:

On October 31, 2019, Four Loco will record a decrease in cash and a decrease in liabilities when it repays the $100,000 principal along with the interest for one year at a 6% interest rate on the notes payable. Here's the breakdown of the transaction:

  • Interest for one year: $100,000 × 6% = $6,000
  • Total to be repaid (Principal + Interest): $100,000 + $6,000 = $106,000

The entries on October 31, 2019, in Four Loco's books would likely be a debit to the notes payable for the $100,000 principal, a debit to interest expense for the $6,000 interest, and a credit to cash for the total $106,000. This results in paying off the liability (notes payable), recording the expense (interest), and reducing the asset (cash).
