    computer 31,495 debit

    discount on NP 9,505 debit

    note payable 40,000 credit

    interest expense 3,779.4 debit

    discount on NP 1,779.4 credit

    cash 2,000 credit

    Explanation:

    proceed 31,495

    face value 40,000

    discount on note payable - 8,505

    we will adjust the note like the effective-rate:

    31,495 x 12% 3,779.4

    cash procced: 40,000 x 5% = 2,000

    amorization will be the difference: 1,779.4
