Interest-bearing and zero-interest-bearing notes payable: An interest-bearing note is a promissory note with a stated interest rate on its face.

Interest-bearing and zero-interest-bearing notes payable:
An interest-bearing note is a promissory note with a stated interest rate on its face. This note represents the principal amount of money that a lender lends to the borrower and on which the interest is to be accrued using the stated rate of interest.
A zero-interest-bearing note (also known as non-interest bearing note) is a promissory note on which the interest rate is not explicitly stated. When a zero-interest-bearing note is issued, the lender lends to the borrower an amount of money which is less than the face value of the note. At maturity, the borrower is required to repay to the lender the amount equal to the face vale of the note. Thus, the difference between the face value of the note and the amount lent by the lender to the borrower is the interest charged by the lender. In other words, we can say that the borrower receives the amount equal to the present value of the note because the present value of a financial instrument is equal to the face value of the instrument less any interest or discount charged by the lender.
