Answer:

E) Debit Notes Payable $50,000; debit Interest Expense $625; credit Cash $50,625.

Step-by-step explanation:

The journal entry to record upon maturity of the note would be

Note Payable A/c Dr $50,000

Interest Expense A/c Dr $625

To Cash A/c $50,625

(Being the maturity of the note is recorded)

The interest expense is computed below:

= Principal × rate of interest × number of days ÷ (total number of days in a year)

= $50,000 × 5% × (90 days ÷ 360 days)

= $625

We assume the total number of days in a year is 360 days
