Explanation:

when the note is signed:

note nominal              61, 920

actual cash received (60,300)

discount on NP              1,620

year-end adjustment:

amortization from Nov 1st to Dec 31th: 2 months

1,620 x 2 months / 3 months  = 1,080

at maturity:

for the last month: 1,620  x 1 month / 3 month =  540
