Sandusky Company borrowed $28,000 from the Lakeside Bank by issuing a 10% three-year installment note.

Based on this information, the amount of the interest expense associated with the second payment would be: (round your answer to the nearest dollar)

Answer 1

Answer:

the amount of the interest expense associated with the second payment would be $1,954

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Amount borrowed= $28,000.00

10% interest=$28,000×0.10=$2,800

Therefore, Total outstanding at end of year 1=$28,000+$2,800

Total outstanding at end of year 1=$30,800

Sandusky agreed to repay the principal and interest by making annual payments in the amount of $11,259.21, therefore

Net balance at end of year 1= $30,800-$11,259.21

Net balance at end of year 1=$19,540.79

Hence, To calculate the amount of the interest expense associated with the second payment we would have to make the following calculation:

amount of the interest expense associated with the second payment= $19,540.79×10%=$1,954
