Journalize the entries to record the following: (1) receipt of the note by Jaffe Furniture and (2) receipt of payment of the note at maturity. Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles.

Answer and Explanation:

1. The computation of due date is shown below:-

Due date = Issue date + Time period in days

= 13 April + 180

Due date for the note = 17 April +31 May + 30 June + 31 July +31 August + 30 Sept + 10 Oct

= 10 October

2. The computation of the maturity value of the note is shown below:-

Maturity Value = Issued amount + Interest

= $76,800 + $76,800 × 6% × 180 ÷ 360

= $76,800 + $2,304

= $79,104

3. The Journal entry is shown below:-
