The amount of interest expense that should be reported on the income statement for the year ended December 31, 2019 is:
= $4,200.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
6% Notes Payable = $140,000
Date of issuance = July 1, 2019
Interest rate per annum = 6%
Total interest expense for the one year = $8,400 ($140,000 * 6%)
Interest expense for the half-year = $4,200 ($140,000 * 6% * 1/2)
b) Therefore, the cash payment on June 30, 2020 will amount to $148,400 ($140,000 + $8,400)
