    The Journal entry is as follows:

    On July 1,

    Cash A/c Dr. $439,200

    Finance charge Expense A/c Dr. $10,800

    To Financing arrangement A/c $450,000

    (To record the amount of borrowings)

    Workings:

    Finance charge expense = ($600,000 * 1.8%)

    = $10,800

    So, cash account = $450,000 - $10,800

    = $439,200
