September 1, 2018       $540,000      

December 31, 2018            $19,800      

September 1, 2019                     $39,600      

Total                      $540,000     $59,400

Therefore, Total Payable=Notes payable+Interest540000      Total Payable= $540,000+$59,400

Total Payable=$599,400

Able must pay Regal Corporation $599,400 on September 1, 2019, when the note matures.
