Answer:
B) Cash A/c Dr $18,000
To Long-Term Notes Payable $18,000
Explanation:
Since we have to pass the journal entry for the beginning year, so we have to record the issued amount also,
The journal entry is shown below:
Cash A/c Dr $18,000
To Long-Term Notes Payable $18,000
(Being long term notes payable)
The principal installment amount should not be considered in the recording of the journal entry. Hence, it is ignored.
