    a. $18,000

    Explanation:

    Data given

    Face value = $600,000

    Bonds = 12%

    The computation of accrued interest payable is shown below:-

    Accrued interest to be reported as at Dec 31 = Face value * Interest rate * Time period (From July to September)

    = $600,000 * 12% * (3 : 12)

    = $600,000 * 3%

    = $18,000

    Therefore for computing the accrued interest payable we simply applied the above formula.
