Answer to Problem 92PSA

Adjusting Journal Entry on 31^st December 2019

Date	Particulars	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
31st December 2019	Interest Expense Dr. Interest Payable	4,800	4,800

Adjusting Journal Entry on 31^st December 2020

Date	Particulars	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
31st December 2020	Interest Expense Dr. Interest Payable	4,800	4,800

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Borrowed $150,000 for 3years 6.4% note on 1^st June 2019 (interest paid annually on 31^st May).

The borrower is entitled to pay interest periodically, unless stated otherwise.

As per the question, the principal and interest is payable annually on 31^st May.

Adjusting Journal Entry on 31^st December 2019

Date	Particulars	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
31st December 2019	Interest Expense Dr. Interest Payable	4,800	4,800

Adjusting Journal Entry on 31^st December 2020

Date	Particulars	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
31st December 2020	Interest Expense Dr. Interest Payable	4,800	4,800

Interest Expense (annual) = $\text{Face Value of note × Stated Interest Rate}$

Interest Expense (annual) = $\text{\$150,000 × 6}\text{.4\%}$

Interest Expense (annual) = $9,600

Since, the interest is to be paid annually on 31^st May so an adjusting entry will be posted as interest payable for 6 months on 31^st December (every year until maturity).

Interest Expense (for 6 months) = $\text{Interest Expense }\left(\text{annual}\right)\text{ × }\frac{\text{6}}{\text{12}}$

Interest Expense (for 6 months) = $\text{\$9,600 × }\frac{\text{6}}{\text{12}}$

Interest Expense (for 6 months) = $4,800

Hence, an adjusting entry for 6 months interest payable of $4,800 will be recorded in the books of accounts on 31^st December (every year until maturity).
