May 22

Note Payable        $7,500

Interest Expense   $150

Cash                                     $7650

Explanation:

At the time of maturity the principal amount and the tax on the note  will be paid.

Value of Note signed = $7,500

Interest on Note = $7500 x 8% x 90 / 360 (assuming 360 days in a year)

Interest on Note = $150

Total Cash Payment = Principal + Interest

Total Cash Payment = $7,500 + $150

Total Cash Payment = $7,650
