Answer:
Journal entry to record the December 31, 2019, interest accrual
Dr. Interest Receivable 2,500
Cr. Interest Revenue 2,500
Interest revenue is calculated by multiplying face value of $50,000 (50 x $1,000 ) with coupon rate of 5% as follows
$50,000 x 5% = 2,500
It is accrued and a receivable will be made against an interest income in this event as shown in the journal entry.
