    A.

    Notes Payable 200,000

    Interest Payable 7,000

    Cash 207,000

    Explanation:

    The Journal entry is shown below:-

    Notes payable Dr, $200,000

    Interest payable Dr, $7,000

    To Cash $207,000

    (Being pay off the note and interest at maturity is recorded)

    Therefore for recording the pay off the note and interest at maturity we simply debited the notes payable and interest payable as it decreases the liability and we credited the cash as it also decreasing the assets.
