Sagot :

Answer:

d. $920 increase liabilities, increase expenses

Explanation:

The journal entry is given below:

On March 31

Interest Expense Dr. $920 ($92,000 × 4% × 3 ÷ 12)

            To Interest Payable $920

(being interest expense is recorded)

Here interest expense is debited as it increased the expense and credited the liabilities as it also increased the liabilities

Therefore the option d is correct
