To determine

Identify the interest due at maturity for each of the three notes.

Explanation of Solution

Calculate the interest due at maturity for the note bearing an amount of $35,000.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{c}\text{Interest due at maturity for }\\ \text{the note bearing \$35,000 }\end{array}\}\text{= }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Principal amount}\times \text{ Annual interest rate }\\ \times \text{ Time period}\end{array}\right)\\ =\$35,000\times 10\%\times \frac{90}{360}\\ =\$875\end{array}$

Therefore, the interest due at maturity for the note bearing an amount of $35,000 is $875.

Calculate the interest due at maturity for the note bearing an amount of $80,000.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{c}\text{Interest due at maturity for }\\ \text{the note bearing \$80,000 }\end{array}\}\text{= }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Principal amount}\times \text{ Annual interest rate }\\ \times \text{ Time period}\end{array}\right)\\ =\$80,000\times 9\%\times \frac{120}{360}\\ =\$2,400\end{array}$

Therefore, the interest due at maturity for the note bearing an amount of $80,000 is $2,400.

Calculate the interest due at maturity for the note bearing an amount of $42,000.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{c}\text{Interest due at maturity for }\\ \text{the note bearing \$42,000 }\end{array}\}\text{= }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Principal amount}\times \text{ Annual interest rate }\\ \times \text{ Time period}\end{array}\right)\\ =\$42,000\times 8\%\times \frac{60}{360}\\ =\$560\end{array}$

Therefore, the interest due at maturity for the note bearing an amount of $42,000 is $560.

3.

To determine

Identify the interest expense to be recorded in the adjusting entry at the end of 2014.

Explanation of Solution

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Accrued interest on Bank F }\\ \text{note at the end of 2014}\end{array}\}=\left(\text{Total interest on note × Time period for the term 2014}\right)\\ =\$560\times \frac{33}{60}\\ =\$308\end{array}$

Therefore, the interest expense recorded in the adjusting entry at the end of 2014 is $308.

4.

To determine

Identify the interest expense to be recorded in 2015.

Explanation of Solution

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Interest on Bank F }\\ \text{note in 2015}\end{array}\}=\left(\text{Total interest on note × Time period for the term 2015}\right)\\ =\$560\times \frac{27}{60}\\ =\$252\end{array}$

Therefore, the interest expense recorded in 2015 is $252.

To determine

Prepare journal entry to record the given transaction and events for years 2014 and 2015.
