note payable — legal document between a borrower and a lender specifying terms of a financial arrangement; in most situations, the debt is long-term. unearned revenue — advance payment for a product or service that has yet to be provided by the company; the transaction is a liability until the product or service is provided. interest — monetary incentive to the lender, which justifies loan risk; interest is paid to the lender by the borrower. principal — initial borrowed amount of a loan, not including interest; also, face value or maturity value of a bond (the amount to be paid at maturity).
