    Dr Interest expense - $21,720

    Cr interest Payable - $21,720

    Explanation:

    Interest

    Since it is a short-time loan (3-month), the interest rate will be prorated to 3-month.

    Interest expense = $362,000 *.06 * 3/12 = $21,720

    Hence, following entries will be recorded:

    Dr Interest expense - $21,720

    Cr interest Payable - $21,720

    For Principal amount Borrowed:

    Cr Loan payable $362000

    Dr. Bank Account $362000

    Upon Settlement:

    Dr. Interest Payable $21,720 and Cr Bank Account $21,720

    Dr. Loan payable $362000 and Cr Bank Account $362000
