Dr. Interest Payable $507,500

DR. Interest Expense $101,500

Cr. Cash $20,909,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Note Payable is promise in writing to pay a sum of money in future. The money normally consists of Principal and interest.

Principal value = $20,300,000

The interest of 5 months is accrued at December 31 and it will be recorded.

Payment of Interest and Principal is made on February 1,2019

Accrued Interest = $20,300,000 x 6% x 5/12 = $507,500

Interest Expense on maturity = $20,300,000 x 6% x 1/12 = $101,500
