Question
•The annual interest rate on the mortgage payable was 8.25 percent. Interest expense for one-half month should be computed because the building and land were purchased and the liability incurred on June 16.
I am not sure if it relates to some of the other transactions I have done, especially these two:
•June 16: A check in the amount of $8,250.00 was received for services performed for Pitman Pictures.
•June 16: Byte purchased a building and the land it is on for $125,000.00 to house its repair facilities and to store computer equipment. The lot on which the building is located is valued at $20,000.00. The balance of the cost is to be allocated to the building. Check #5005 was used to make the down payment of $12,500.00. A thirty year mortgage with an initial payment due on August 1st, was established for the balance.
