Respuesta :

Answer:

$320

Explanation:

Data provided

Cash from bank = $12,000

Annual interest rate = 8%

The computation of amount of interest expense to record for 2018 is shown below:-

Outstanding month from 1 September to 31 December = 4 months

Interest expense = Cash from bank × Annual interest rate × Outstanding month ÷ total number of months in a year

= $12,000 × 8% × 4 ÷ 12

= $320
