What is the amount of interest expense on this loan for 2021? (Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Solution:
Calculation of Interest expense on loan for 2021:
Interest Expense = (Principal Balance on 2020 - Amount applied to principal on 2020) * Annual Interest Rate
Interest Expense = ($86,554 - $26,403) * 9%
Interest Expense = $5,414
Working Note:
Calculation of Annual Interest Rate
Annual Interest Rate = (Amount applied to interest on 2018 * 100) / Principal Balance on 2018
Annual Interest Rate = ($11,970 * 100) / $133,000
Annual Interest Rate = 9% p.a
