    B) $700,000 and $ 12,000

    Explanation:

    The note payable is recorded on the borrowing date of October 01 2017 at its face value $ 700,000. The amount due on the maturity of the note on March 01 2018 is 720,000, thus the interest on the note is $ 20,000 for the 5 month period of the borrowing. (October 1 to March 1).

    The recognition of the interest for the 3 month period October to December is calculated as under:

    Total interest for 5 months $ 20,000

    Interest for 3 months $20,000/5*3 = $ 12,000

    So the answer is $ 700,000 and $ 12,000
