C. debit Interest Expense and credit Cash, $1,200. D. debit Interest Expense and credit Interest Payable, $1,200.

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. debit Interest Expense and credit Interest Payable, $1,200.

Explanation:

The principle amount of note payable = $80000

Rate of interest  = 9%

The time period for which the interest paid = 2 months

Now find the interest amount that is payable.

Total interest amount for the two months = $80000 × 9%× 2/12 = 1200

Therefore, the interest expense of $1200 will be debited and credit with same amount as interest payable.

Thus option “D” is correct.
