To determine

Note Payable: Note Payable is a written agreement under which the Borrower obtains a certain sum of money from the Lender for a specific period of time. It carries a specific rate of interest. The borrowed sum along with interest is to be returned to the Lender after the expiry of the specified time period

To determine:

What entry should be record at the yearend i.e. December 31, 2018

Answer to Problem 1QC

Solution:

a. Interest payable of $900

Explanation of Solution

Given:

On January 1, 2018, a business borrowed $18000 on a 5 year, 5% note payable.

Formula used:

Interest Amount = Borrowed Sum * Interest Rate* Time Period

Calculation:

Interest Amount = $18000*5%*1year

■ = $900

• According to the accrual basis of accounting, interest on note payable should be accrued in the books of accounts irrespective of its payment. It means although payment of interest has not been done, but the same must be recorded in the books of accounts because the interest is accrued on note payable. While recording this transaction, an expense is booked and a liability is created simultaneously. Here, in this question, the business should record interest payable of $900 at the year end. This is because the business has used the borrowed amount for 1year and for this usage of money, interest becomes payable to the lender. Although the interest has not been paid, but the same must be recorded in the books since it has been accrued. The Journal entry in this case would be:

Interest Expense Dr $900

To Interest Payable          $900

(Being interest on note payable accrued for 1 year)

Conclusion

From the above discussion, we can conclude that the business should record interest payable of $900 at December 31, 2018 following the accrual basis of accounting.
