The accrued interest on the note at December 31, 2019 is $206.25

Explanation:

Fashion Jewelers accepted a 5-month, 11% note for $7,500.

The amount of interest for 1 year = 11% x $7,500 = $825

The amount of interest for 1 month = $825/12 = $68.75

From October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, Fashion Jewelers has accepted the note for 3 months.

The accrued interest on the note at December 31, 2019 = $68.75 x 3 = $206.25
