Aaliyah Vance · Answer 1

interest receivable 222 debit

interest revenue 222 credit

Cash 9,176 debit

interest revenue 74 credit

interest receivable 222 credit

note receivable 8,880 credit

Explanation:

At year-end we recognize the accrued interest revenue: this comes from the formula:

principal x rate x time

8,880 x 10% x 3/12 = 222

Then, the borrower honor his debt. We post the cash collection

the revenue for the remaining month:

8,880 x 10% x 1/12 = 74

and write-off the receivables.
