Many businesses borrow money during periods of increased business activity to finance inventory and accounts receivable. Hudsons Bay Company (HBC) is Canadas largest department store. Each Christmas, HBC builds up its inventory to meet the needs of Christmas shoppers. A large portion of Christmas sales are on credit. As a result, HBC often collects cash from the sales several months after Christmas. Assume that on November 1, 2017, HBC borrowed $6.4 million cash from Downtown Bank and signed a promissory note that matures in six months. The interest rate was 6.6 percent payable at maturity. The accounting period ends December 31. Required: 1. Prepare the journal entry to record the note on November 1, 2017. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Enter your answers in whole dollars.)

2. Prepare any adjusting entry required on December 31, 2017. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Enter your answers in whole dollars.)

3. Prepare the journal entry to record payment of the note and interest on the maturity date, April 30, 2018, assuming that interest has not been recorded since December 31, 2017.
