The interest payable to be reported on 31 December 2021 will be of $1000.

Option d is the correct asnwer.

Explanation:

Under the accrual basis or principle of accounting, we match the revenue with the expenses and record the transactions in the period to which they relate to rather than when the cash is paid or received. This means that the interest payment that is accrued for time period relating to this year should be recorded as an expense in the current period and as a liability as it will be paid in the next period. Thus, the interest on the note relating to 2 months from November 2021 to December 2021 will be recorded as follows,

Interest expense = 100000 * 0.06 * 2/12 = 1000
