Answer:

The correct answer is Debit Interest Expense, $5,100.

Explanation:

Note is a promissory note with a written promise made by the borrower to the lender (payee) to pay a certain, definite sum at a specified date.

Interest expense on the notes is calculated as: Principal x Interest Rate x Time

In this case, the total interest expense is $170,000 x 9%/12 x 6 months = $7,650.

Interest expense as at December 31, 2021 is therefore $7,650 / 6 x 4 = $5,100.
