= $1,800

C) 90,000 + 1,800 = $91,800

D) (600 x 6 months) + 90,000

= $93,600

Abardeen Corporation

a. No interest was paid in year 1 because the nterest will be paid in Year 2 when the note matures.

$7,200 * 3/12

= $1,800

c. Notes Payable + Interest Payable

$90,000+$1,800

$91,800

d. Principal + interest

$90,000 + ($90,000 * 8% * 6/12) ]

$90,000+$3,600

$93,600

e. ($90,000 * 8%)

= $7,200

($7,200 * 3/12)

$1,800
