Explanation:
Requirement A
Insto Photo Company
Journal Entries
Date Accounts Name Debit Credit
December 1, 2016 Inventory $25,000
Notes payable $25,000
Note: As the merchandise company issued a note for the credit purchase of merchandise inventory, notes payable is used instead of accounts payable.
Dec. 31, 2016 Interest expense $250
Interest payable $250
Note: Adjusting entry is needed as the fiscal year is ended on 31st December, therefore, there will be an accrued interest expense to be paid for one month. The calculation of interest expense = $25,000 × 12% × (30 ÷ 360) [assuming 1 year = 360 days, 1 month = 30 days]. = $250 for one month's accrual.
Requirement B
March 31, 2017 Interest expense $ 750
Interest payable $ 250
Notes payable $25,000
Cash $26,000
Note: At the end of the maturity date, the buyer will pay all the bills of the notes plus interest. Interest payable becomes debit as it did not pay by the buyer on 31st December, 2016. The remaining interest = $25,000 × 12% × (90 ÷ 360) = $750. Total cash will be paid after the maturity = $25,000 + $250 + $750 = $26,000.
