Explanation:

adjusting entry:

principal x rate x time

22,000,000

rate 9% / 12 = 0.0075

months 2

We must express rate and time in the same metric, in this case, months

22,000,000 x 0.75 x 2 = 330,000 accrued interest

payment of the note:

22,000,000 x 0.75 x 9 = 1,485,000

already accrued                 330,000

interest expense               1,185,000
