Answer: $180
Explanation:
From the question, Federal Bank of America has loaned $9,000 to Southgate Animal Hospital, using a 90-day non-interest-bearing note. The bank discounted the note at 8%.
Therefore, the debit to Discount on Notes Payable in the general journal will be:
= $9,000 × 8% × 90/360
= $9,000 × 8/100 × 1/4
= $9,000 × 0.08 × 0.25
= $180
The correct answer is $180
It should be noted that we used 360 days for a year.
