    b. debit Interest Expense, $200; credit Interest Payable, $200.

    Explanation:

    Journal entry to record the adjusting entry for November 30 for the interest-only as principal and interest will be paid on May 1.

    November 30 Interest expense Debit $200 (note 1)

    Interest Payable Credit $200

    Note 1: Interest expense for one month = $30,000 * 8% * (1 : 12) = $200

    Since interest expense has not been paid and incurred only for one month, a liability account, i. e., interest payable, will arise.
