Answer #1

option A is correct.

intrest expense related to the note is to be calculated based on accrual basis for the period oct to dec i.e.3 months. Accordingly the intrest expense will be calculated for 3 months proportionately.

hence

intrest expense = $5000× 9% × 3/12

intrest expense = $112.50

thank you.. .. ..
