Samco signed a 5-year note payable on January 1, 2018, of $ 475 comma 000. The note requires annual principal payments each December 31 of $ 95 comma 000 plus interest at 9%. The entry to record the annual payment on December 31, 2021, includes A. a debit to Interest Expense for $ 17 comma 100. B. a debit to Interest Expense for $ 42 comma 750. C. a credit to Cash of $ 137 comma 750. D. a credit to Notes Payable for $ 95 comma 000.

Option A, a debit to Interest Expense for $ 17 comma 100 is correct

Explanation:

The principal amount on 1st January 2021 needs to be established since that would be the amount left after 2018,2019,2020 principals have been repaid

Principal at 1st January 2021=$475,000-($95,000*3)=$190000

Interest on principal in 2021=$190000 *9%=$17100

Total repayment in 2021=principal plus interest=$95,000+$17,100=$ 112,100.00  

The $95,000 would be a debit to notes payable not credit hence option is wrong.

Only option A,a debit of $17,100 to interest expense is correct

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
