Explanation:

Given that :

A business issued a 180-day, 8% note for $52,000 to a creditor on account.

Illustrate the effects on the accounts and financial statements of recording

(a) the issuance of the note and;

(b) the payment of the note at maturity, including interest.

(a)

We need to prepare the Note Payable and Balance sheet Entries in order to illustrate   the effects on the accounts and financial statements of recording the issuance of the note:

SO;

NOTE PAYABLE

Account Payable                  52000

Note Payable                                              52000

                               BALANCE SHEET

Access  =              Liabilities  +                     Stockholders      Income

                                                                     ' Equity                 Statement

No effect        Account Payable -52000    No effect             No effect

                       Notes Payable + 52000

                      NET EFFECT        = 0

(b)

Illustrate the effects on the accounts and financial statements of recording of the payment of the note at maturity, including interest.

NOTES PAYABLE

Account Payable                  52000

Interest expense                     2080

(52000×8%× 180/360)

Cash                                                                54080

                               BALANCE SHEET

Access  =              Liabilities  +                     Stockholders      Income

                                                                     ' Equity                 Statement

Cash = 54080   Notes Payable           Retained Earnings   Interest expense                    

                           =52000                     = 2080                      =2080  

all of them make sense but, i would have to say ask someone who has been there/or lives there, and/or read recent newspapers from that city.

hope this !

the answer is a.
