    b. Debit Interest Receivable and credit Interest Revenue for $10,000

    Explanation:

    The adjusting entry is shown below:

    Interest receivable A/c Dr $1,260

    To Interest revenue A/c $1,260

    (Being accrued interest is recorded)

    The computation of accrued interest is shown below:

    = Principal * rate of interest * number of months : (total number of months in a year)

    = $250,000 * 6% * (8 months : 12 months)

    = $10,000

    The 8 month is calculated from May 1 to December 31. And we assume the books are closed on December 31
