Respuesta :

Answer:

$4,560

Explanation:

The computation of the interest expense is shown below:

= Principal × rate of interest × number of months ÷ (total number of months in a year)

= $304,000 × 9% × (2 months ÷ 12 months)

= $4,560

We simply apply the simple interest formula

The two months are calculated from November​ 1, 2018, to December​ 31, 2018

Thus, we considered all the things for computation.
