    b. debit to Cash for $30, and a credit to Interest Revenue for $30

    Explanation:

    The journal entry is shown below:

    Cash Dr

    To Interest receivable

    (Being the receipt of interest is recorded)

    The computation is given below:

    = $1,000 * 6% * 6 months : 12 months

    = $30

    Since cash is received so we debited the cash as it increased the assets and the same time the interest receivable is credited
