Besides, how do you find interest expense?
The simplest way to calculate interest expense is to multiply a company's debt by the average interest rate on its debts. If a company has $100 million in debt at an average interest rate of 5%, its interest expense would be $100 million multiplied by 0.05, or $5 million.
Correspondingly, how do you calculate interest on a balance sheet?
Simply divide the interest expense by the principal balance, and multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage. This will give you the periodic interest rate, or the interest rate for the time period covered by the income statement. If the information came from the company's annual income statement, you're done.
