interest expense 1.583.741,77 debit

   note payable              1.583.741,77 credit

--to record accrued interest on note payable --

Explanation:

the note plus interest will be for 60 millions.

So to calcualte the isuance ofthe note we must calculate the present value of a lump sum at 12% discount rate:

Maturity  60,000,000.00

time   0.75

rate  0.12

PV   55,110,929.18

then at December 31th we solve for the accrued interest:

Principal55,110,929.18

time0.25 (3 months over 12 month a year)

rate0.12000

Amount56,694,670.95

accrued interest: 56,694,670.95 - 55,110,929.18 = 1.583.741,77
