Answer 1

Part A

1) What is the journal entry in order to accrue interest expense?

Debit interest expenses $ 18600

Credit interest payable $ 18600

2) Total interest paid on notes payable and bonds payable amounted to $17,415.

Debit interest payable $ 17415

Credit Cash $ 17415

3) Remaining balance

Remaining difference would be the difference between payable and paid, that is 18600-17415 = $ 1185
