    The interest payable on the loan is $5,000, option C

    The interest is the cost incurred by the company for borrowing the $500,000 since no one is willing to part with their cash in loan agreement except that they have something in return.

    The company has taken custody amount for 2 months (from November 1 2021 to 31 December 2021), hence it should recognized an interest payable for 2 months, which is computed thus:

    interest payable=$500,000*6%*2/12=$5,000
