Answer:
The interest on notes is calculated as follows
Interest payable = Face value of bonds * Interest rate * (Time of maturity / 12 months)
= $695,000 * 6% * 9/12
=$31,275

This will result in outflow of cash, thereby crediting cash account. The liability on account of notes payable and interest payable will be settles, thereby debiting the payable account
