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 $4,600.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{c}\text{Interest due at maturity for }\\ \text{the note bearing \$4,600 }\end{array}\}\text{= }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Principal amount}\times \text{ Annual interest rate }\\ \times \text{ Time period}\end{array}\right)\\ =\$4,600\times 15\%\times \frac{60}{360}\\ =\$115\end{array}$

Therefore, the interest due at maturity for the note bearing an amount of $4,600 is $115.

Calculate the interest due at maturity for the note bearing an amount of $12,000.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{c}\text{Interest due at maturity for }\\ \text{the note bearing \$12,000 }\end{array}\}\text{= }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Principal amount}\times \text{ Annual interest rate }\\ \times \text{ Time period}\end{array}\right)\\ =\$12,000\times 10\%\times \frac{120}{360}\\ =\$400\end{array}$

Therefore, the interest due at maturity for the note bearing an amount of $12,000 is $400.

Calculate the interest due at maturity for the note bearing an amount of $8,000.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{c}\text{Interest due at maturity for }\\ \text{the note bearing \$8,000 }\end{array}\}\text{= }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Principal amount}\times \text{ Annual interest rate }\\ \times \text{ Time period}\end{array}\right)\\ =\$8,000\times 9\%\times \frac{45}{360}\\ =\$90\end{array}$

Therefore, the interest due at maturity for the note bearing an amount of $8,000 is $90.

3.

To determine

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

Explanation of Solution

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Accrued interest on Bank C }\\ \text{note at the end of 2014}\end{array}\}=\left(\text{Total interest on note × Time period for the term 2014}\right)\\ =\$90\times \frac{25}{45}\\ =\$50\end{array}$

Therefore, the interest expense recorded in the adjusting entry at the end of 2014 is $50.

4.

To determine

Identify the interest expense to be recorded in 2015.

Explanation of Solution

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Interest on Bank C }\\ \text{note in 2015}\end{array}\}=\left(\text{Total interest on note × Time period for the term 2015}\right)\\ =\$90\times \frac{20}{45}\\ =\$40\end{array}$

Therefore, the interest expense recorded in 2015 is $40.

To determine

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