Question

Suppose a company borrows 15,000 on 1/1/14 at 10% interest rate for a one year term. The company makes interest payments every quarter but accrued for the interest expense each month. Assuming they used the simple interest formula, what amount of interest expense would they record in May?

Answer 1

Answer: 125

Explanation:

Given that:

The principal = 15000

Rate = 10%

Years = 1 year = 12 month

Interest I = PRT/100

I = (15000 × 10 × 1)/100

I = 1500

The amount of interest expense that would they record in May will be

Interest = I/ 12 = 1500/12 = 125
