    c. $16,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the accrued interest payable is shown below:

    = (Total amount - first payment) * (interest rate) * (number of months : total number of months in a year)

    = ($600,000 - $200,000) * 12% * (4 months : 12 months)

    = $400,000 * 12% * (4 months : 12 months)

    = $16,000

    The four months is calculated from the September 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011

    And, the prime rate is of no use. So, it would not be considered in the computation part.
