The answer

January 1.

Dr Cash $39,000

Cr Notes Payable $39,000

January 31

Dr Interest Expense $195

Dr Notes Payable $720.92

Cr Cash $915.92

February 28

Dr Interest Expense $191.40

Dr Notes Payable $724.52

Cr Cash $915.92

Explanation:

Annual Interest on the notes is $2,340 (6% of $39,000)

Monthly interest will therefore be $195 ($2,340 : 12 months)

Notes payable is $720.92 ($915.92 - $195)

For second month

$39,000 - $720.92 = $38,279.08

($38,279.08 x 0.06) : 12 = $191.40
