Dear sir, Suppose company take loan & they paying interest on them, If company not paid that much interest so interest payable should add back to principal or we have to show this amount as interest payable separately because next time interest calculation should be on principal or principal + interest?
In second condition vice versa
2) if loan given by company / or financial institution etc, to any other company or firm so in this case interest receivable also add to principal or it would be shown interest receivable separately
Because one of my professor said that interest payable should add to principal but interest receivable should not add back to principal is this true if true, which accounting standard or policies said that Expert pls reply

Next time interest calculation is not the basis of entry of interest in accounts. It has to be recorded irrespective of the fact that whether next time interest would be on principal+interest or principal only. For Interest payable:- Interest A/c Dr........xxx To Interest Payable..........xxx next time interest calculation:- Interest A/c Dr.(as per terms and comdition) To Interest Payable..........xxxx Similar is the case of Interest receivable.
