Answer:

Date                 Account Title                                         Debit                Credit

12/31/2019        Notes Payable                                     $4,500

                         Interest expense                                 $20,881

                         Cash                                                                             $25,381

Working

Interest expense = 5% * 90,000

= $4,500

Notes payable = 25,381 - 4,500

= $20,881

This is the principal repayment amount.
