A) Debit retained earnings by $8,000 & credit  interest revenue by $8,000.

Explanation : Since the interest revenue relates to Financial year2013 and it was wrongly credited ti Interest Revenue in the year2012 that inflated the profit of2012 by $8,000.To rectify this error we need to decrease the opening balance of Retained earnings(Ending balance of  2012) and bring the interest revenue to current accounting year.
