    Debit notes Payable $6,900

    Debit interest expense $69

    Credit cash $6,969

    Explanation:

    The interest amount payable on maturity is $6900*6%*2/12=$69

    The actual principal remains at $6900

    The appropriate entries would to debit notes payable with $6,900 and interest expense with $69 while the credit of $6969 goes to cash account representing an outflow to settle the obligation.

    The rationale for this is that settle of an obligation would require debit the payable account.
