    The correct answer is:

    $ - O - $1,800 (a)

    Explanation:

    Principal = Amount borrowed = $20,000

    interest rate = 9% = 0.09

    Time = 1 year

    Simple Interest = Principal * Rate * Time

    Simple Interest = 20,000 * 0.09 * 1 = $1,800.

    Next, we are asked to show how interest expense will appear in 2011 and 2012 income statements respectively. First note that the 2011 interest expense will be recorded as $0 because that was the year in which the money was borrowed, and it was not paid back until 2012. In 2012, the interest and principal was paid back, and from the calculation, the interest paid was $1,800.
