    Notes payable entry and its adjusting entry
    Here's the problem:

    Batangas Placement Agency issued a 20% $50,000, 120 days promissory note to Manila Skill Trade Center on October 2,2011 for training their contact workers.

    * Give the entry of Batangas Placement Agency on October 2, 2011 and its adjusting entry at the end of 2011.

    I don't really know the beginning entry. Help Please.

    A promissary note is a debt to be paid at a future date, What has actually happened is a purchase has been made on credit
