Answer:

D) $9200 principal plus $4600 interest

Explanation:

the December 1st, 2019 payment on the note will be:

the installment on the principal and the accrued interest for the period.

interest due for the period:

92,000 x 5% = 4,600

amortization on principal

92,000 x 10% = 9,200

Total 13,800

The journal entry will be as follows:

interest expense 4,600 debit

note payable 9,200 debit

cash 13,800 credit

This information makes option D) the only correct answer.
