Answer 1

The correct answer is option (a).

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Amount = $10,000

Interest rate = 6%

So total interest amount = $10,000 × 6% = $600

So, the cash amount = $10,000 - $600 = $9,400

So, it shows increase in cash for $9,400.

The journal entry for the given data are as follows:

Cash A/c Dr $9,400

Interest A/c Dr $600

To Notes payable A/c $10,000

(Being the Notes payable is recorded))
