    The journal entries are shown below:

    a. Cash A/c Dr $45,000

    To Notes payable A/c $45,000

    (Being note is issued for cash)

    b. Interest expense A/c Dr $333

    To Interest payable A/c $333

    (Being accrued interest adjusted)

    The computation is shown below:

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

    = $45,000 * 9% * (30 days : 365 days)

    = $333

    The 30 days is calculated from December 1 to December 31

    (C) Interest expense A/c Dr $665.75

    Interest payable A/c Dr $333

    Notes payable A/c Dr $45,000

    To Cash A/c $45,998.75

    (Being cash is paid on maturity)

    The computation is shown below:

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

    = $45,000 * 9% * (60 days : 365 days)

    = $665.75

    From January 1 to March 1 it would be 60 days

    We assume 365 days a year.
