Answer:
Interest expense --------$1,500
Interest payable-------------- $1,500
Explanation:
Given the following ;
Amount of note signed = $75,000
Annual interest rate = 12% = 0.12
Date signed = November 1
Calculate interest expense to be made in the adjusting entry by December 31 :
NOTE: No entries have been made previously for the interest expense
Monthly Interest = (Amount × rate) ÷ 12
Monthly interest = ($75,000 × 0.12) ÷ 12
Monthly interest = $9000 ÷ 12 = $750
November 1 to December 31 = 2 months
$750 × 2 = $1500
Interest expense = $1,500
