    Debit: Cash with $192,000

    Debit: Finance charge with $8,000

    Credit: Notes payable with $200,000

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Calculation of finance charge and cash received

    Finance charge = $400,000 * 2% = $8,000

    Cash received = $200,000 - $8,000 = $192,000

    Step 2: Calculation preparation of journal entry

    The journal entries appear as follows:

    DR ($) CR ($)

    Cash 192,000

    Finance charge 8,000

    Notes payable 200,000

    Being the cash received and finance charge on note payable.
