Question

g On July 1, Alton Co. issued an $60,500, 10%, 120-day note payable to Seller Co. Assume that the fiscal year of Alton Co. ends July 31. Using a 360-day year in your calculations, what is the amount of interest expense recognized by Alton in the current fiscal year? When required, round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answer 1

Answer:

The interest expense is $521  

Explanation:

The amount of interest expense for the fiscal year is the interest expense of 31 days which ,in other words the interest incurred only in the month of July ,calculated thus:

interest expense=days in the month/360days*interest rate*loan amount

interest expense=31/360*10%*$60,500=$ 521  

The interest expense for the current fiscal year rounded to the nearest dollar amount is $ 521
