Answer:

The accrued interest is $2,520

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of accrued interest is shown below:

= (Notes payable amount) × (interest rate) × (number of months ÷ total number of months in a year)

= ($42,000) × (8%) × (9 months ÷ 12 months)

= $2,520

The 9 months is computed from April 1, 2016, to December​ 31, 2016 . Moreover, all the item values are to be considered in the computation part.
