On July 1, Perry Company signed a note with principal of $80,000 and a stated interest rate of 4%. The principal and interest are due on April 1 of the following year. Perry will accrue interest on December 31st.

$80,000 * 4% * 6/12 = $1,600 Interest is always stated as an annual rate regardless of loan term. The 4% interest is annual and must be multiplied by 6/12 to account for the six months july-december when recording the accrued interest on 12/31.
