    Dr Interest Payable $10,000

    Cr Notes Payable $40,000

    Cr Cash $50,000

    Explanation:

    When the loan was raised the entry was:

    Dr Cash $40,000

    Cr Notes Payable $40,000

    The interest on this loan was accounted for:

    Dr Interest Expense $10,000

    Cr Interest Payable $10,000

    So the correct entry for paying interest and principal amount would be:

    Dr Interest Payable $10,000

    Cr Notes Payable $40,000

    Cr Cash $50,000
