2) Prepare any necessary adjusting entries relative to depreciation and amortization:

Date	Account Titles	Debit	Credit
Dec. 31, 2021	Depreciation Expense	$67,417.40
	Accumulated Depreciation- Computer equip.		$67,417.40
	($413,087-$76,000)/5 years
Dec. 31, 2021	Interest Expense	$49,570
	Discount on Notes payable		$49,570

Amortization Schedule
Date	Interest Expense	Carrying Amount of Note
12/31/2020		$413,087
12/31/2021	$413087 × 12% = $49570	$462,657
12/31/2022	$462,657 × 12% = $55,519	$518,176
12/31/2023	$518,176 × 12% = $62,181	$580,357
12/31/2024	$580,357 × 12% = $69,643	$650,000
