    Last fiscal year loan interest is $5,500

    Current fiscal year loan interest is $11,000

    Explanation:

    The amount loan interest to report for the last fiscal year is one month loan interest while two months loan interest should be reported at end of its current fiscal year.

    The rationale for this was that the loan was made used of one month in the last fiscal year and two months in the current fiscal year.

    Interest for last fiscal year=$600,000*11%*1/12=$5,500

    Interest for current fiscal year=$600,000*11%*2/12=$11,000
