Cr Interest payable                  $24,000

Explanation:

The issue of notes payable on November 1 2015 implies that there is cash inflow of $1,800,000 while current liabilities also increased by $1,800,000,as result cash is debited with the $1,800,000 and credit is posted notes payable.

On 31st December ,interest of two months would been incurred and should be accrued in the accounts with amount below:

$1,800,000*8%*2/12=$24,000

This should be debited to interest expense and credited to interest payable account
  • The journal entries and the impacts are to be given below:

(a) On Nov 1

Cash

    To Note Payable

(Being the note issued is recorded)

(b) On Dec 31

Interest expense $24,000  (8% of $1,800,000 × 2 ÷ 12)

      To Interest payable $24,000

(Being interest expense is recorded)

  • Now the impacts are as follows:

Assets                 = Liabilities                   +         Equity

+ Cash           + Note payable ($1,800,000)

($1,800,000)  + Interest payable ($24,000)        - Interest expense ($24,000)
