Document Summary

Both are liabiliies, an obligaion to pay cash in the future. However, an accounts payable is an implicit (implied, unspoken, understood) agreement between a business and a supplier, so there is no signed contract. In addiion, unless you are overdue (you have not paid your supplier within the credit terms), no interest is charged on outstanding accounts payable amounts. Notes payable are more formal; they involve a signed agreement (contract) between two paries (the borrower and the lender) with an interest rate (set or variable). If the loan is a tradiional bank loan there will also be a set maturity date (when the amount must be paid back). Recall that there are two important amounts with regards to a loan: the principal and the interest. The principal is the amount borrowed from the lender (bank). The interest is the charge borrowers pay for the right to use someone else"s (the creditor"s) money.
