Of the 30 days the bank loan was to be outstanding, 15 had elapsed. (Actually, February is a shorter month, so not quite 15 days elapsed. ) Thus, since half of the time had passed, it might be assumed that half of the interest had been “earned” by the bank. Since the interest had not actually been paid yet, JMC set up a new current liability account, Interest payable, of $2. Also, since the bank’s money was used to conduct business, the interest on the money must be considered an expense. Accordingly, a new account, Interest expense, was set up on the income statement in the amount of $2.

If he won and if the company did not have enough cash to pay the settlement, even after having sold off all its assets, Jones (or the partners) would have had to use personal funds to pay his expenses. The limited liability feature of a corporation means that neither the bank nor Arbetter would have been able to collect from Jones (or the partners).

Jones knew he would have to pay income tax on his profit. Even though it does not have to be paid until later, the tax is a legal liability, so it would be most accurate to put it into the income statement immediately. Since Jones owned the entire company, which was still a sole proprietorship (not yet incorporated), the Internal Revenue Service would treat TMC’s profit as part of Jones’s total income including his salary from his regular job.
