Answer:
The correct option is c. Debit Interest Receivable $250, credit Interest Revenue $250.
Explanation:
The interest revenue from this loan can be calculated as follows:
Interest revenue = Loan amount * (Number of days from November 1 to December 31 / Number of days in a year) * Interest rate .............. (1)
Where;
Interest revenue = ?
Loan amount = $18,750
Number of days from November 1 to December 31 = 60
Number of days in a year = 350
Interest rate = 8%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Interest revenue = $18,750 * (60 / 360) * 8%
Interest revenue = 250
Since it is a 120-day loan which implies that repayment is expected to be made after December 31, i.e. on 120th day, Lemming's end-of-period adjusting entry on December 31 should be Debit Interest Receivable for $250; and Credit Interest Revenue $250.
Therefore, the correct option is c. Debit Interest Receivable $250, credit Interest Revenue $250.
