Part A – correct

Part B – I am assuming you mean the entry for Dec. 31, not Dec. 1 as you wrote.

Therefore assuming a Dec. 31 entry, you are correct if basing it on 5 months. If you go by days, the amount is a few dollars higher than $400.

Part C
Dr. Interest Expense 1,600
Dr. Interest Payable 400
Dr. Notes Payable 80,000
Cr. Cash 82,000
