Solution

The correct answer is "$20,000 credit to Interest Payable".

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

  1. First, calculate the annual interest: 1,000,00061,000,000 * 6% = 60,000.
  2. Since the interest is for a period of 9 months, we need to calculate the interest for this period. However, the question asks for the amount recorded on December 31, Year 1, which is only 4 months into the loan (from September 1 to December 31).
  3. So, calculate the interest for 4 months: (60,000/12months)4months=60,000 / 12 months) * 4 months = 20,000.
  4. This interest has been accrued but not yet paid, so it is recorded as a credit to Interest Payable.
