Answer:

Interest Expense 6,260

   Interest Payable    6,260

Explanation:

face value 313,000

issued at   313,000

From October 31th to December 31th

2 months of interest has been accrued

rate = 12% annual

12% divided by 12 = 1% monthly rate

then 1% times 2 = 2% rate for the period.

Now we calculate:

313,000 x 2% = 313,000 x 0.02 = 6,260
