    The answer is: Knottworth Gedding should report $1,725,000 as interest expense in its 12/31/2021 income statement

    Explanation:

    The formula for calculating the amount of interest expense is:

    interest expense = discount rate x (present value - yearly payment) x time

    Discount rate = 10% Present value = $40,500,000 Yearly payment = $6,000,000 Time = 6 months / 12 months = 0.5

    interest expense = 10% x ($40,500,000 - $6,000,000) x 0.5 = $1,725,000
