Multiple Choice
$7,800.
$650.
$2,600.
$1,950.
Answer- Correct option is 'D'
Annual interest rate = 156,000 * 5 %
= 7800
Monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12
= 7800 / 12
= 650
Quaterly interest rate = Monthly interest rate * 3
= 650 * 3
= 1950
The amount of interest revenue that should be recorded for the quarter ending March 31 equals $ 1950.
