Moshe Roberts · Answer 1

option (C) $600

Explanation:

Given:

Principle amount = $15,000

Interest rate = 8%

Time period = July 1, 2018 to December 31 i. e 6 months = 0.5 years

Now,

Interest = Principal * Rate * Time

or

Interest = $15,000 * 0.08 * 0.5

or

Interest = $600

Therefore,

Debit: Interest Expense, $600

Hence,

the correct answer is option (C) $600
