Answer:

Notes payable..........................Dr      $12,000

Interest expense......................Dr      $360

            Cash                                                       $12,360

(Being notes payable repaid with interest

on due date)

Explanation:

Note is issued against any payment to be made. Note is repaid with face value and interest.

Given:

Face value of notes payable = $12,000

interest rate = 12%

Time period = 90 days

Calculation of interest expense:

= 12,000 × 0.12 × 90/360

= $360

Journal entry to record repayment of notes payable:

Interest expense   $360

            Cash                                    $12,360
