    Dr Notes Receivables account 490

    Cr Accounts Receivables account 490

    Explanation:

    Notes receivables is debited since it increases, and when assets increase they are debited.

    Accounts receivables is credited sin it decreases, and when assets decrease they are credited.

    The journal entry cannot record the $49 in interest revenue since revenue cannot be recognized until it is earned or its earning process is substantially completed. Considering that Brown is not a very good client, the company is not even sure that it will be able to collect the original $490.

    If Brown really pays the note, then the journal entries would be:

    Dr Cash account 539

    Cr Notes Receivables account 490

    Cr Interest revenue 49
