    B) debit Interest Expense, $200; credit Interest Payable, $200

    Explanation:

    The adjusted journal entry for the interest expense is shown below:

    Interest expense A/c Dr $200

    To Interest payable $200

    (Being the interest adjusted entry is recorded)

    Since we have to record the interest expense from September 1 to September 30 which reflects 1 month and the computation of interest expense is shown below:

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

    = $40,000 * 6% * (1 : 12)

    = $200
