Question

Kelly Jones and Tami Crawford borrowed $46,500 on a 7-month, 4% note from Gem State Bank to open their business, JC’s Coffee House. The money was borrowed on June 1, 2017, and the note matures January 1, 2018.

Prepare the entry to record the receipt of the funds from the loan.

Prepare the entry to accrue the interest on June 30.

Assuming adjusting entries are made at the end of each month, determine the balance in the interest payable account at December 31, 2017.

Prepare the entry required on January 1, 2018, when the loan is paid back.

Answer 1

Date	Title	Debit	Credit
June 1, 2017	Cash	$ 46,500
	Note payable		$ 46,500
	(To record borrowings)
June 30, 2017	Interest expenses ($46,500*4%*1/12)	$        155
	Interest payable		$        155
	(To record interest accrued for the month)

Interest payable on 31 December 2017 = $46,500*4%*7/12 = $1,085

Jan 1, 2018	Note payable	$ 46,500
	Interest payable	$    1,085
	Cash		$ 47,585
	(To record repayment of note with interest)
