On August 31, Pell Co. partially refunded $180,000 of its outstanding 10% note payable made one year ago to National Bank by paying $180,000 plus $18,000 interest, having obtained the $198,000 by using $52,400 cash and signing a new one-year $160,000 not discounted at 9% by the bank.

a) Make the entries to record the partial refunding. Assume Pell Co. makes reversing entries when appropriate.

b)Prepare the adjusting entry at December 31, assuming straight-line amortization of the discount.
