    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
