    Debit to interest expense for $4, 400

    Explanation:

    The journal entry is shown below:

    Interest expense A/c Dr $4,400

    Notes payable A/c Dr $10,808

    To Cash A/c $15,208

    (Being the due payment is recorded)

    For due payment, we debited the interest expense and the notes payable account and credited the cash account as cash is paid for the first annual payment due on the note
