Closing entry for this  Loan will be

Loan A/c                   Dr      303300  

Bank A/c                   Cr                        265000

Prepaid Interest      Cr                          38300

 

Need to close Prepaid interest A/c also. there will be a balance of59945 in Prepaid interest after deducting38300, there will be21645/- balance.

If company in profit we can settle this amont as interest expense in one time or other wise we can deduct monthly wise by the same way previousely done.

One time settlement of prepaid interest

Loan interest                    DR          21645

Prepaid Interest               CR                          21645
