Answer:

$24,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the interest expense is shown below:

= Borrowed amount × rate of interest

= $200,000 × 12%

= $24,000

We simply multiplied the borrowed amount with the rate of interest so that the interest expense could come

hence, the third option is correct
