Cucina Corp. signed a new installment note on January 1, 2018, and deposited the proceeds of $50,000 in its bank account. The note has a three-year term, compounds 5 percent interest annually, and requires an annual installment payment on December 31. Cucina Corp. has a December 31 year-end and adjusts its accounts only at year-end. Round calculations to the nearest dollar.

2. Prepare the journal entries on (a) January 1, 2018, and December 31 of (b) 2018, (c) 2019, and (d) 2020.

3. If Cucina Corp.’s year-end were March 31, rather than December 31, what adjusting journal entry would it make for this note on March 31, 2018?
