Answer: the complete question is 1. Compute the accrued interest payable on December 31. 2. & 3. Prepare the journal entry to record the accrued interest expense at December 31 and payment of the note at maturity date

Notes Payable _____

Interest Expense______

Interest Payable______

Cash ____________.

Please see explanatory column for answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate accrued interest on December 31st

we use Interest = Principal x Rate x Time

where time = November 7 to December 31 = 54 days.

Interest = $150,000 x 10% x 54/360= 150,000 x 0.10 x 54/360= $2,250

Journal entry to record the accrued interest expense at December 31

Date Account Debit Credit

December 31 interest expense $2,250

Interest payable $2,250

b) To calculate payment of note at maturity date.

the borrowed cash will be paid in 90 days which means fromn November 7 of the previous year to Feb 5 of the next year = 90

using Interest = P XRX T

150,000 X 10% X 90/360= $3,750

Journal entry to record the payment of the note at maturity. which is on February 5th of the next year.

Date Account Debit Credit

February 5 Notes payable $150,000

Interest expense $1,500

Interest payable $2,250

Cash $153,750

Calculation: interest expense = $3,750- $2,250= $1500 This is because even though the total accrued interest was $3,750, only $2,250 was payable remaining $1,500 as the new interest expense for maturity date.
