Respuesta :

Answer:

B. $16.67

Explanation:

The computation of the accrued interest expense is shown below:

= Notes receivable or Principal × rate of interest × number of days ÷ (total number of days in a year)  

= $5,000 × 4% × (30 days ÷ 360 days)

= $16.67

We assume there are 360 days in a year

And, the 30 days is calculated from December 1 to December 31
