    Dr cash $12,180

    Cr notes receivable $12,000

    cr interest revenue $180

    Explanation:

    The cash receipt implies that the company cash has improved by $12,180 which means that a debit of $12,180 would be recorded in the cash account, since an increase in asset is a debit to the specific asset account.

    On the other hand, notes receivable account that was previously debited when the transaction was consummated will now be credited with $12,000 with $180 credited to interest revenue account.

    The rationale for credit entry in interest revenue is that an increase in income is naturally a credit entry in the books of accounts.
