    (Being notes payable is issued)

    (b). The journal entry for payment of the note at the time of maturity is shown below:

    Notes Payable A/c Dr $10,000

    Interest expense A/c Dr $200*

    To Cash $10,200

    (Being payment of note with interest is recorded)

    * The computation of interest expense is shown below

    = Issued amount * rate of interest * number of days : total number of days

    = $10,000 * 6% * 120/360

    = $200
