Answer 1

Dr delivery truck $30,000

Cr cash $10,000

Cr notes payable $20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The acquisition of the truck was consummated partly in cash of $10,000 and notes payable was signed for the remainder of $20,000,hence the appropriate would be to debit delivery truck account with the total cost of $30,000 while the cash account and notes payable are credited with $10,000 and $20,000 respectively.

The interest would be due and recognized later on,not when the truck is freshly acquired.
