Explanation / Answer

1) Since the deposit is in savings account 85800 after 4 years at 8 % therefore we have to find the future value interest factor for 4 years 8% willl be = 1.3605 therefore the amount after 4 years would be = 85800* 1.3605 = $116730 will be available after 4 years.

2) there would only be a cash out entry ie cash deposit entry as

Deposit A/c 85800

To Cash A/c 85800

Being cash deposited on 1st january 2014

3) The interest amount in 1 year ie 31st december 2014 would be = 85800* 8% = 6864

therefore the entry would be

interest accrued A/c 6864

To interest income 6864

Interest amount after 2 years ie 31st december 2015 would be 85800*8% = 6864

for 2nd year interest calculation would be compounded therefore interest would be on 85800+6864

therefore it would be = 7413 therefore the total interest after 2 years would be 6864+7413 =14277

Entry would be

Interest accrued 7413

To interest income 7413
