利息费用会计核算
a. $0
b. $1,200
c. $1,000
d. $2,320
Explanation
Choice "d" is correct.
12%, 2-yr note payable $ 10,000
Year 1 interest expense [12% x $10,000 x 10/12] 1,000
Year 1 net liability 11,000
Year 2 interest expense = [12% x $11,000] $ 1,320
Accrued interest payable at 12/31/Year 2 equals $2,320 [$1,000 + $1,320]
Choice "a" is incorrect. Accrued interest must be recognized and recorded during the term of the note.
Choice "c" is incorrect. Year 1 accrued interest equals $1,000 [$10,000 x 12% x 10/12].
Choice "b" is incorrect. This is simple interest on the original note [12% x $10,000] for one year and is not the accrued interest payable balance.
