E) Debit Notes Payable $50,000; debit Interest Expense $625; credit Cash $50,625.

Explanation:

The journal entry to record upon maturity of the note would be

Note Payable A/c Dr $50,000

Interest Expense A/c Dr $625

To Cash A/c $50,625

(Being the maturity of the note is recorded)

The interest expense is computed below:

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

= $50,000 * 5% * (90 days : 360 days)

= $625

We assume the total number of days in a year is 360 days
