To answer this question we will use below related formula's

For any Company Total Assets = Capital + Total Liabilities

As Interest payable is a liability for the organization means we have value missing on the liability side.

So we can change the formula as Total Liabilities = Total Assets - Capital

Once we found the Total Liabilities balance then use below formula

Interest Payable = Total Liabilities as per calculation - sum of given balance of liabilities

Let's categories the given data

Description Amount Category
Accounts Payable 107 Liabilities
Accounts Receivable 245 Asset
Buildings 723 Asset
Cash 327 Asset
Common Stock 440 Capital
Interest Payable ? Liabilities
Inventory 194 Asset
Note Payable 500 Liabilities
Retained Earnings 372 Capital

As per category Total Assets = 1489

As per category Total Liabilities given = 607

As per category Capital = 812

Now Calculate the Total Liabilities

Total Liabilities = Total Assets - Capital

Total Liabilities = 1489 -812 = 677

Interest Payable = Total Liabilities as per calculation - sum of given balance of liabilities

Interest Payable = 677 - 607 = 70

So Interest payable amount is 70

Hope given answer will solve your query.
