    The total interest due at the end of two months is computed by $480,000 * 0.08 * 2/12 = $6400

    As the notes payable charge interest each month interest of $6400/2 = $3200 needs to be accrued. So the adjusting entry to be recorded is:

    debit to interest expense 3200

    credit to interest payable 3200
