Zarina Corp. has a March 31 year-end and adjusts its accounts quarterly.

Required: 1. Use an online application, such as the loan calculator with annual payments at mycalculators.com, to generate an amortization schedule. Enter that information into an amortization schedule with the following headings: Year, Beginning Notes Payable, Interest Expense, Repaid Principal on Notes Payable, and Ending Notes Payable.

2-4. Prepare the journal entry on January 1, 2018, the adjusting journal entry to accrue interest on March 31, 2018. Assuming the journal entry from requirement 3 also is recorded on June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2018, prepare the journal entry to record the first annual installment payment on December 31, 2018.

5. Calculate the amount of interest expense that should be accrued for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
