Sir , I try to do it . but I can’t get that In book how they did it like this Interest Payables 8% x 1/2(8000-10000) = 720 Please help with this question Can you solve this question and explain me ??
From 1 July 20X6 to 31 December 20X6 the loan notes were 8,000 and so the interest for this 6 months is 1/2 x 8% x 8,000.
On 1 January 20X7 they issued 2,000 more loan notes and the total went up to 10,000. So the interest for the 6 months from 1 January 20X7 to 30 June 20X7 is 1/2 x 8% x 10,000.
The total interest for the year is the two added together.
