See explanation section

Step-by-step explanation:

August 1, 2021 Cash Debit $19,200,000

Notes payable Credit $19,200,000

To record the cash borrow from FirstBanc Corporation for six months, 8% promissory notes.

December 31, 2021 Interest expense Debit $640,000

Interest payable Credit $640,000

To record the accrued interest expense for the year ended, December 31, 2021.

Calculation: $19,200,000 × 8% × (5 ÷ 12) = $1,536,000 × (5 ÷ 12) = $640,000

If Trico Technologies paid the notes during maturity,

February 1, 2022 Notes payable Debit $19,200,000

Interest expense Debit $128,000

Interest payable Debit $640,000

Cash Credit $19,968,000

Calculation: $19,200,000 × 8% × (6 ÷ 12) = $768,000. As the interest accrued during the previous year and payable this year, the amount $640,000 will be remained as $640,000. The remainder amount (768,000 - 640,000) = $128,000 will be counted as interest expense.
