Question

Abardeen Corporation borrowed $90,000 from the bank on October 1, 2018. The note had an 8 percent annual rate of interest and matured on March 31, 2019. Interest and principal were paid in cash on the maturity date. Required What amount of cash did Abardeen pay for interest in 2018? What amount of interest expense was recognized on the 2018 income statement? What amount of total liabilities was reported on the December 31, 2018, balance sheet? What total amount of cash was paid to the bank on March 31, 2019, for principal and interest? What amount of interest expense was reported on the 2019 income statement?

Answer 1

Interest paid in cash in 2018 = $0

Interest recognized on the Income statement = $1,800

Liabilities recognized = $90,000

Amount paid for Principal and interest = $93,600

Interest reported on 2019 Income statement = 1800

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest paid in cash in 2018 is zero because interest and principal were paid in cash on the maturity date.

Interest recognized in 2018 = 90000*0.08*3/12 = $1800

liabilities are recognized at original amount because the interest is not capitalized and no payment made thus far.

Amount paid on maturity date is 93,600 ( 90000 principal, 3600 interest)

interest reported is for three months jan - march
