2. The interest expense would  be

On 2018:

= Principal × rate of interest × number of days ÷ (total number of  days in a year)

= $200,000 × 9% × (60 days ÷ 360 days)

= $3,000

( 29 days in November + 31 Days in December)

3. On 2019:

= Principal × rate of interest × number of days ÷ (total number of  days in a year)
