    1. Cash A/c Dr $80,000,000

    To Notes payable A/c $80,000,000

    (Being note is issued for cash)

    2. Interest expense A/c Dr $1,600,000

    To Interest payable A/c $1,600,000

    (Being accrued interest adjusted)

    The computation is shown below:

    = Principal * rate of interest * number of months : (total number of months in a year)

    = $80,000,000 * 12% * (2 months : 12 months)

    = $1,600,000

    The two month is calculated from November 1 to December 31

    3. Interest expense A/c Dr $5,600,000

    Notes payable A/c Dr $80,000,000

    (Being cash is paid on maturity)

    The computation is shown below:

    Out of 9 months the two month is accrued and the remaining is debited to interest expense account
