Yes payment of loan liability is your expense decreasing the liability as well as asset from which you are paying the loan liability.
As an expense, loan interest should be placed in the debit side of the Profit & Loss A/c and not in the Trading a/c.
It Depends:If you are the bank, then the loan is an asset because, the loan customer is going to repay you the loan amount with interest and you are going to earn an income from it.If you are the loan customer, then the loan is a liability because you are going to return the money along with interest to the bank that gave you the loan.
Depreciation expense is neither an asset or liability. It is an expense.
Neither. The actual loan is a capital item and the interest on the loan is an expense for the borrower but income for the lender. The only time the loan itself becomes an expense item is when the unrecoverable portion needs to written off and then it becomes a bad debt. Repayment of the loan is entirely on the asset accounts for both the borrower and lender.
Loan acquired to buy an asset is a liability of business so interest incurred on that loan is also part of that loan and that's why it is also the liability of business.

No.
Interest income is part of revenue.

Non-Operating Expense
Interest Expense is usually calculated by (Carrying Value of Liability*Yield Rate * Time). Carrying Value is the actual present value of the liability (including discounts earned, etc) Interest Expense is the money that actually goes out of the firm. Interest Paid is calculated by (Face Value of Liability*Interest Rate * Time). Interest Paid is the fair-value of dues from the firm, but is not the actual value of the liability. Interest Expense is the amount reflected in the books of the firm, and is usually higher than Interest Paid. This is because Interest Expense often includes the cost of discount amortization(this is necessary when the bond/other liability was gained at a discount. The amortization is worked into the formula above, and hence gives an amount higher than interest paid. This gives the total interest expensed by the Company.) Hope this helps. Cheers

Loan interest payable is not shown in income statement rather it is shown in liability side of balance sheet in current liability section.

If you are doing adjusting entries, an accrued expense will affect a balance sheet account (payable) and an income statement account (expense). Such as accrued interest at the end of year would be: Interest Expense (Debit) Interest Payable (Credit)
No, it is a liability and goes on the right side of a balance sheet.
