Requirement 1. How much interest expense must be accrued at December 31, 2018? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

a note payable with the passage of time. Therefore, even though the interest won't be paid until the maturity date, at year end it is necessary to accrue interest on the
notes payable. Review the formula provided and calculate the accrued interest at December 31, 2018. (Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
Principal x Rate x Time = Accrued interest
$ 60,000 x 10 % x 3 /12 = $ 1,500
