Natalie is thinking of repaying all amounts outstanding to her grandmother. Recall that Cookie Creations borrowed $2,000 on November 16, 2017, from Natalie's grandmother. Interest on the note is 9% per year, and the note plus interest was to be repaid in 24 months. Recall that a monthly adjusting journal entry was prepared for the months of November 2017 (1/2 month), December 2017, and January 2018. (a) Calculate the interest payable that was accrued and recorded to January 31, 2018. Round to nearest dollar. (b) Calculate the total interest expense and interest payable from February 1 to August 31, 2018. Prepare the journal entry at August 31, 2018, to bring the accounting records up to date. Round to nearest dollar. (c) Natalie repays her grandmother on September 15, 2018-10 months after her grandmother extended the loan to Cookie Creations. Prepare the journal entry for the loan repayment.

Explanation:

interest for half-month :

2,000 x 9% x 0.5 / 12 = $7.50

interest for a month :

2,000 x 9% x 1/12 = $15.00

For February 1st to August 31th:

$15 dollar per month x 7 months = $105

honor of the note at September 15th:

nterest for half-month :

2,000 x 9% x 0.5 / 12 = $7.50

Total interest accrued: 7.5 + 15 + 15 + 105  = 142.5

Answer:a) interest payable $540, b) total interest expense for seven months $1,260, interest payable $2,520, c) loan repayment interest after 10 month $1,800

Total amount repaid $3,800

Explanation:

To calculate the simple interest on the loan

SI = Principal × Rate × Time/100

Principal =$2,000, Rate = 9%, T = 24 months

2,000 × 9 × 24/100

= 432,000/100

= 4,320

Amount = interest + Principal

4,320 + 2000 = 6,320

To calculate the monthly interest

4,320÷ 12 = 360

Therefore the amount interest payable accrued recorded

= 360,× 1/2

= 180 each month

For November, December, January will be

180 ×3 = 540

Journal entry

Interest expense Dr : $540

Interest payable. Cr :$540

b)

To calculate interest expense, we use the formula

Principal =$2,000 Rate = 9%, T = 7 months

P × R × T / 100

2000 × 9 × 7 /100

= 126,000÷ 100

= 1,260

Therefore to calculate interest payable, Since the simple interest

= $4,320, we will first calculate for the monthly interest

4,320÷12 = 360

Therefore the interest payable for 7 months

= 360 × 7

= 2,520

Journal entry

Interest payable Cr : $2,520

Less Interest expenseDr : $1260

Balance c/d Dr :$ 1,260

Total balance Dr $2,520, Total balance Cr : $2,520

c)

To calculate the repayment of the loan by Natalie ten month after the grandmother extended the loan. Using the formula SI = Principal × Rate × Time /100

Principal = $2,000, Rate 9%, Time = 10 months

2,000 × 9 × 10 / 100

= 180,000 ÷ 100

= 1,800

Amount = interest + Principal

= 1,800 + 2,000

= 3,800

Journal entry

Loan account Dr: $2,000

Loan interest Dr: $1,800

Bank Account Cr: $3,800

Total balance Dr :$ 3,800 ,

Total balance Cr: $3,800
