Harry Elliott · Answer 1

Note = $5,000

Interest rate = 6%

Time period = 120 days

The journal entry is as follows:

On July 12,

Account receivable A/c Dr. $5,100

To Notes receivable $5,000

To Interest revenue $100

(To record note dishonor)

Workings:

Interest revenue = $5,000 * 0.06 * (120:360)

= $100
