1.

April 1, Year 1 Note Receivable 470000 Dr

Cash 470000 Cr

2.

December 31, Year 1 Interest receivable 38775 Dr

Interest Revenue 38775 Cr

3.

April 1, Year 2 Cash 521700 Dr

Note Receivable 470000 Cr

Interest Receivable 38775 Cr

Interest Revenue 12925 Cr

Explanation:

1.

The loan was extended on 1 April Year. The note received is an asset for the company and will be recorded as a debit to the note receivable account and a credit to cash as cash is being paid as an extension of loan to the supplier.

2.

The accrual principle states that the revenues and expenses relating to a particular period should be matched and recorded in their respective periods. Thus, on 31 December Year 1, the interest revenue relating to notes receivable for the period from April to December (9 months) will be recorded as a revenue and as a receivable as it will be received when the note matures.

Interest revenue = 470000 * 0.11 * 9/12 = 38775

3.

The amount for the loan and interest on it against the note receivable will be received on April 1 Year 2. The cash will be debited by the amount of note receivable and the interest revenue earned for 12 months on that note. The note receivable account and the interest receivable account will be credited which were assets and the interest revenue that relates to year 2 (3 months from January to march) will be credited against the cash.

Interest revenue Year 2 = 470000 * 0.11 * 3/12 = 12925

Cash = 470000 + 38775 + 12925 = 521700
