b. Interest Expense, $1,800.
c. Interest Payable, $1,200.
d. Interest Expense, $600.

Answer 1

c. Interest Payable, $1,200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in a situation where the company keeps its records on a calendar year, an adjustment is needed on December 31 to increase: INTEREST PAYABLE, by $1,200

Increase in Interest payable=6%*30,000*8/12

Increase in Interest payable=$1,200

(May 1 to December 31=8 months)
