Introduction:
When you borrow money, whether, from an individual, another firm, or a bank, you must repay it with interest, the interest component of your loan is recorded as a cost in your company's income statement. In most circumstances, you won't have to compute the interest yourself; financial institutions will offer you a breakdown of the amount owing is known as interest expense.
