Answer:
The answer is: D) $32,000
Explanation:
In 20x3, Cris. Co. paid in cash $68,000 for interest, including $15,000 of interest from 20x2.
The amount of cash paid for 20x3 interests = $68,000 - $15,000 = $53,000
Interest payable = interest expense 20x3 - cash paid for 20x3 interests
interest payable = $85,000 - $53,000 = $32,000
