Yay! I got the first part. The interest confused the heck out of me though:
Okay, the five year 5% note would be $900 ($90,000/5= $18,000 x 5%). That wouldn't be considered the interest right?
I figured the interest is $4500 (90,000 x 0.05% x 1)
Debit Interest Expense: $4,500
Credit Interest Payable: $4,500
*If paid annually $18,000.00 (20% of principle) & Interest $4500.00(5% on a 5yr note)= $22,500.00
