    Interest revenue 3200 Cr

    Explanation:

    The interest on note receivable is an income. The accrual principle says that the revenues and expenses for one period should be recorded in that period. So the interest related to the period from September to December, 4 months, should be recorded as interest revenue and interest receivable.

    The interest for 4 months is = 120000 * 0.08 * 4/12 = $3200
