To compute for the interest expense for the year, the formula that we will be using would be the I = Prt
Where:
I = interest
P = principal = $198,000
r = rate = 12%
t = time = 2/12; only two months since Pita Pit only borrowed on November and the accounting period ends at December.
Computation:
I = Prt
= 198,000 x .12 x 2/12
= $3960
