Question

On September 1, ABC Company borrowed $50,000 on a 6%, 9-month note payable to XYZ National Bank. Given no previous adjusting entries have been recorded, ABC's adjusting entry at December 31 would include a:________.

a. debit to Interest Expense of $3,000.
b. debit to Interest Expense of $2,250.
c. debit to Interest Expense of $1,000.
d. debit to Interest Expense of $750.

Answer 1

c. debit to Interest Expense of $1,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The adjusting entry is as follows:

Interest expense Dr ($50,000 × 6% × 4 months ÷ 12 months) $1,000

To Interest payable $1,000

(Being the interest expense is recorded)

Here interest expense is debited as it increased the expense and credited the interest payable as it also increased the liabilities

Therefore the correct option is c.
