    Hello Mike

    My question is this:

    If an entity borrows 100,000 from the bank, but the interest on the loan is 20,000, would the total liability in the balance sheet be 120,000 or would it be the 100,000 only? If it is 100,000 then how is teh 20,000 treated?

    Dr Cash $100,000
    Cr Loan / Bank Loan / Bank Overdraft $100,000

    Interest of $20,000?

    Either:

    Dr Finance costs $20,000
    Cr Cash $20,000

    or

    Dr Finance costs $20,000
    Cr Loan / Bank Loan / Bank Overdraft $20,000

    OK?
