Answer #1

The correct answer is "a. $10,000".

Calculation: Amount of interest to be reported by Innovate Company = $150,000 * 10% * (8/12)

Amount of interest = $10,000

Since interest for the period May 1, 2017 till December 31, 2017 (8 months) pertains to the current period, interest expense is also to be recognized by debiting interest expense account and crediting interest payable account.
