The interest rate for a year or 12 months is 7% (0.07).

Counting the months from August to December is 5 months.

So the interest rate for 5 months is equivalent to:

i = 0.07 * (5/12)

i = 0.0292

The interest expense would be:

expense = $59,000 * 0.0292

expense = $1721

Therefore the answer is letter B.
