Journal Entries

On July 1

Cash A/c        Dr.  $61,000

 To 8% Notes payable A/c      $61,000

(Being the cash borrowed from first national bank is recorded)

For recording this we debited the cash as it increases the assets and credited the note payable as it also increased the liabilities

 To Interest payable A/c        $2,440
