Group of answer choices
Dr Interest Payable 4 000/ Cr Interest Expense 4 000
Dr Interest Expense 6 000/ Cr Cash 6 000
Dr Interest Payable 6 000/ Cr Cash 6 000
Dr Interest Expense 4 000/ Cr Interest Payable 4 000
Solution
The correct adjusting entry would be:
Dr Interest Expense 6 000/ Cr Interest Payable 6 000
Here's the step-by-step calculation:
- Calculate the total interest for the full term of the note: 8,000
- Since the financial statements are being prepared halfway through the term of the note (9 months), we need to calculate the interest for half the term: 6,000
- Therefore, the adjusting entry is to debit (increase) Interest Expense by 6,000. This reflects the accrued interest expense that has not yet been paid.
