Respuesta :

Answer:

A) $2425

Explanation:

The computation of the interest expense for the June month is shown below:

= (Issued amount × rate × number of months) ÷ (total number of months in a year) + (issued amount - sale value) ÷ (2 × number of months)

= ($28,000 × 10%) × (6 months ÷ 12 months) + ($28,000 - $15,700) ÷ (2 × 6 months)

= ($1,400) - ($12,300 ÷ 2 × 6 months)

= $1,400 + 1,025

= $2,425

The 6 months is calculated from January 1, 2019 to June 30
