Explanation / Answer
(1)
Interest expense is the accrued interest that arises during 6 months (From 1st Jul till 31st Dec).
Accrued interest for 8 months year = $200,000 x 6.25% x (8/12) = $8,333.33
So, accrued interest for 6 months = $8,333.33 x (6/8) = $6,260
Interest expense reported as at 31st Dec = $6,250
