Where does interest paid on loan go in the balance sheet?
INTEREST ON LOAN NEVER GOES TO THE BALANCE SHEET AS IT IS A REVENUE EXPENDITURE. IT WILL SHOWN AS AN EXPENSE FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR AND DEBITED IN PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT BEFORE ARRIVING AT NET PROFIT. MOHAMMED ASIF MUSCAT Mohammed, You are an idiot. Yes it does as interest payable. How do you pay for it? Obviously with cash. It therefore flows through the balance sheet. What state are you from so I can have them take away your cpa license. Chances are you don't have one. Joe Bob Interest paid on a loan does not go directly on the balance sheet as correctly stated by Muscat and instead is seen as a line item on the profit and loss statement. Indirectly however, paid interest is a reduction of cash (cr entry) and owners' equity (dr entry) which obviously effects the balance sheet. Unpaid accrued interest can however be seen on the balance sheet as a short-term liability. Accrued interest in the case of a term note represents interest unpaid from the last note payment to the ending date of the balance sheet. For example, if the last note payment was on 12/20/y0, the balance sheet would show 11/31th of the interest associated with the 01/20/y1 note payment in accrued interest. So... be nice; both of your answers have a component that correctly answers the question. Regards, MJG
