Answer:

The Journal entry is as follows:

Interest expense A/c Dr. $100

           To Interest payable A/c   $100

(To record the interest expense for the first month)

Workings:

Amount borrowed = $10,000

Annual interest rate = 12%

Interest is due at the end of the year

Time period = 1 month

Therefore,

Interest expense = $10,000 × 0.12 × (1 ÷ 12)

                            = $100
