    Dr cash $1,800,000

    Cr Notes payable $1,800,000

    Interest accrual:

    Dr Interest expense $24,000

    Cr Interest payable $24,000

    Assets = liabilities + shareholders'equity

    +Cash $1,800,000 = + loan $1800,000

    =+liabilities $24,000 + - retained earnings $2400

    Explanation:

    The issue of notes payable on November 1 2015 implies that there is cash inflow of $1,800,000 while current liabilities also increased by $1,800,000, as result cash is debited with the $1,800,000 and credit is posted notes payable.

    On 31st December, interest of two months would been incurred and should be accrued in the accounts with amount below:

    $1,800,000*8%*2/12=$24,000

    This should be debited to interest expense and credited to interest payable account
