I'm using cengage for this problem in my online Managerial Accounting class ACG 2071 Lab and i'm having trouble answering question 2 and 3. I believe 've completed question 1 which is the journalizing but I can't seem to find out where am I supposed to post the answers to questions 2 and 3.

I see this on the assignment test description."Display the general ledger reports for the Interest Expense account and indicate the amount of interest expense in (a) 2018 and (b) 2019." but I don't know where the general ledger for the expense account is. I dont believe its the same journal that I used to make the entries for question 1.
