Explanation:

1. For each of the transactions, indicate the accounts, amounts, and effects on the accounting equation.

In the attached excel file, the amount of -$2,720 that appears under the  Stockholder's Equity is the finance charge calculated as follows:

Finance charge = Amount borrowed * Interest rate * (Number of months to the promissory note due date / Number of months in a year) = $64,000 * 8.50% * (6 / 12) = $2,720

2. What amount of cash is paid on the maturity date of the note?

From the attached excel file, we have:

Amount of cash paid = $66,720

From the attached excel file, we have:

Debt to Assets Ratio on January 10 is 0.62; and the impact is an increase from 0.60.
