(B) Received a promissory note of $34,000 for services performed - Notes receivable - As the promissory note is received so it is considered as notes receivable and hence, shown in current assets in the balance sheet

(C) Sold merchandise on account for $60,000 to a customer - Accounts receivable - As the sale is made on credit. The journal entry is shown below:

Accounts receivable A/c Dr $60,000
