Question

The Pita Pit borrowed $100,000 on November 1, 2021, and signed a six-month note bearing interest at 12%. Principal and interest are payable in full at maturity on May 1, 2022. In connection with this note, The Pita Pit should report interest expense in 2022 for the amount of ________.

Answer 1

Answer:

$4,000

Explanation:

The computation of the interest expense is shown below:

= Borrowed amount × rate of interest × number of months ÷ (total number of months in a year)  

= $100,000 × 12% × ( 4 months ÷ 12 months)  

= $4,000

The four months is taken from Jan 2022 to May 2022

We simply applied the simple interest formula to determine the interest expense and the same is shown above
