Answer:

Interest payable to be reported on 31 December 2021 will be $5020

Explanation:

Following the accrual principle of accounting, we record transactions on the basis of matching the revenues and expenses and recording them in the particular period to which they relate to and occur rather than in the period when cash is received or paid. We will make an adjusting entry on 31 December to record the interest expense and interest payable that relate to year 2021.

Interest expense 2021 = 502000 * 0.06 * 2/12 = $5020

The entry on 31 December 2021 will be,

Interest expense     5020 Dr

     Interest Payable       5020 Cr
