    1. The maturing date of note will be 30 January 2019

    (29 days in November + 31 Days in December and 30 Days in January)

    2. The interest expense would be

    On 2018:

    = Principal * rate of interest * number of days : (total number of days in a year)

    = $200,000 * 9% * (60 days : 360 days)

    = $3,000

    (29 days in November + 31 Days in December)

    3. On 2019:

    = Principal * rate of interest * number of days : (total number of days in a year)

    = $200,000 * 9% * (30 days : 360 days)

    = $1,500

    (30 Days in January)

    We assume 360 days in a year.

    4. (A) Cash A/c Dr $200,000

    To Notes payable A/c $200,000

    (Being note is issued for cash)

    (B) Interest expense A/c Dr $3,000

    To Interest payable A/c $3,000

    (Being accrued interest adjusted)

    (C) Interest expense A/c Dr $1,500

    Interest payable A/c Dr $3,000

    Notes payable A/c Dr $200,000

    To Cash A/c $204,500/
