On April 12, Hong Company agrees to accept a 60-day, 8%, $5,700 note from Indigo Company to extend the due date on an overdue account. What is the journal entry that Indigo Company would make, when it records payment of the note on the maturity date

Respuesta :

Answer:

Interest = Principal Amount × Rate × Number of days / 365

Interest = $5,700 * 10% * 60/365

Interest = $96.70

Cash to be paid = Principal Amount + Interest

Cash to be paid = $5,700 + $96.70

Cash to be paid = $5796.70

On the date of maturity, journal entry to make the payment of note payable is given below
