    1. Journal entries to record the sale of merchandise:

    Credit Sales revenue $30,000

    Journal entries to record the interest accrual at December 31, 2021:

    At March 31, 2022, journal entries to record the collection:

    Explanation:

    1. Journal entries to record the sale of merchandise:

    Debit Accounts Receivable $30,000

    Credit Sales revenue $30,000

    Esquire agreed to accept a 6% note requiring the payment of interest and principal on March 31, 2022.

    The amount of the interest per year = 6% x $30,000 = $1,800

    The amount of the interest per month = $1,800/12 = $150

    At December 31, 2021, the interest accrual = $150 x 6 = $900

    Journal entries to record the interest accrual:

    Debit Interest receivable $900

    Credit Interest revenue $900

    At March 31, 2022, journal entries to record the collection:

    Debit Cash $31,350

    Credit Accounts Receivable $30,000

    Credit Interest receivable $900

    Credit Interest revenue $450
