Preparation of December 31, 2015 adjusting entry for Tate Company

Since Tate Company had purchased the equipment on November 1, 2015 in which the company gave a 3-month with 9% note and a face value of $20,000, this means we have to record the transaction by Debiting Interest expense with 300 and Crediting Interest payable with the same amount . The amount of 300 is calculated as 2/12×9%×20,000

Therefore Tmthe December 31, 2015 adjusting entry will be :

Dr Interest expense 300

Cr Interest payable 300
