    The correct journal entry on Dec 31, 2016 is as follows:

    Notes Payable A/c Dr. $4,095

    Interest Expense A/c Dr. $2,500

    To Cash $6,595

    (To record the loan payment on December 31, 2016)

    Workings:

    Notes Payable Amount = $25,000

    Equal Annual Installment to be paid = $6,595

    Installment amount includes the interest for the outstanding amount of loan over the life.

    Interest on Loan:

    = Carrying Value of Loan at the beginning of the year 1 * Rate of Interest 10%

    = 25,000 * 10%

    = $2,500

    Installment Amount = $6,595

    Loan Principal Repayment:

    = Installment Amount - Interest on Loan

    = 6,595 - 2,500

    = $4,095

    Interest Expense = $2,500
