    1.-

    notes receivables 28,200 debit

    Sales Revenues 28,200 credit

    --to record sale in exchange of a note--

    notes receivables 1,200 debit

    interest revenue 1,200 debit

    --to record year-end adjustment--

    cash 30,000 debit

    interest revenue 600 credit

    note receivable 28,400 credit

    2. - effective rate 8.51%

    Explanation:

    Assuming the note bears interest:

    principal x rate x time = interest

    also:

    future value - principal = interest

    30,000 - 28,200 = 1,800

    time: March 31,2022 - June 30,2021 = 9 months

    thus:

    28,200 x rate x 9/12 = 1,800

    21,150 x rate = 1,800

    rate = 1,800 / 21,150 =

    rate = 0,0851063 = 8.51%

    accrued interest at december 31th:

    28,200 x 8.51% x 6/12 = 1200
