yrell Co. entered into the following transactions involving short-term liabilities. Year 1 Apr. 20 Purchased $40,250 of merchandise on credit from Locust, terms n/30. May 19 Replaced the April 20 account payable to Locust with a 90-day, 10%, $35,000 note payable along with paying $5,250 in cash. July 8 Borrowed $80,000 cash from NBR Bank by signing a 120-day, 9%, $80,000 note payable. ___

Answer 1

the requirements are missing, so I looked for similar questions:

1) determine the maturity date of these transactions

2) determine the interest due at maturity

1) maturity dates of the notes:

note Locust NBR bank

note issued on May 19 July 8

term of note 90 days 120 days

maturity date August 17 Nov. 5

2) interest due at maturity

Locust note = $35,000 x 10% x 90/360 = $875

NBR bank note = $80,000 x 9% x 120/360 = $2,400

the journal entries should be:

August 17, 202x, note paid to Locust

Dr Notes payable 35,000

Dr Interest expense 875

Cr Cash 35,875

November 5, 202x, note paid to NBR Bank

Dr Notes payable 80,000

Dr Interest expense 2,400

Cr Cash 82,400
