Answer:

cash 612,000 debit

interest expense 68,000 debit

note payable 680,000 credit

cash 490,000 debit

accounts receivables 490,000 credit

note payable 490,000 debit

interest expense 5,667 debit

cash 495,667 credit

Explanation:

The lender will take a 10% discount before hand:

680,000 - 68.000 = 612,000

Then, we collect the 490,000 from our account so we record that as usual

the interest on the loan will be of:

principal x rate x time

680,000 x 0.1 x 1/12 = 5666,67

We now record the total cash outlay and tdecrease the note payable
