Jan 13= No entry is made for a line of credit until a loan actually is made. It would be described in a disclosure note.
May 1 = Interest expense ($6,200,000 × 13% × 3/12) = $201,500
Notes payable (face amount) = $6,200,000
Cash ($6,200,000 + $201,500) = $6,401,500
Dec. 1 = Cash (difference) = $13,559,000
Discount on notes payable ($14,900,000 × 12% × 9/12) = $1,341,000
Notes payable (face amount) = $14,900,000
Dec. 31 = The effective interest rate is 13.19% ($1,341,000 ÷ $13559000) × 12/9. So, properly, interest should be recorded at that rateoutstanding balance times one-twelfth of a year:
Interest expense ($13,559,000 × 13.19% × 1/12) = $149036
Discount on notes payable = $149000
However the same results are achieved if interest is recorded at the discount rate times the maturity amount times one-twelfth of a Interest expense ($14,900,000 × 12% × 1/12) = $147,000
Discount on notes payable = $149,000

Sept. 1 = Interest expense ($14,900,000 × 12% × 8/12)* = $1,192,000
Discount on notes payable = $1,192,000
Notes payable (balance) = $14,900,000
Cash (maturity amount) = $14,900,000
