Explanation:

Step1: Identify the accounts involved

The interest expense has been incurred but not yet paid, so we debit Interest Expense to recognize the expense for the period, and credit Interest Payable as it is a liability that will be paid in the future.
Debit: Interest Expense; Credit: Interest Payable

Step2: Record the amounts

The interest expense amount is $3,100, so we record $3,100 in both the debit and credit columns for the respective accounts.
Debit Interest Expense $3,100; Credit Interest Payable $3,100

Answer:

Accounts	Debit	Credit
Interest Payable		$3,100
