    b. $4,000

    Explanation:

    Amount of Loan = $100,000

    Interest rate = 8% per year

    Interest rate = 8% x (6 / 12)

    Interest rate = 4% every six months

    On December 31 six months has been passed after issuance.

    Interest Expense = $100,000 x 4%

    Interest Expense = $4,000

    Jamal should report $4,000 as interest expense. So correct answer is b. $4,000.
