Fifi · Answer 1

Cash account in the amount of $10,100

Explanation:

The journal entry to be recorded for the receipt of payment is as:

Cash A/c ... Dr $10,100

Note receivable A/c ... Cr $10,000

Interest Revenue A/c ... Cr $100

Being recoded the receipt of payment

As payment is received so asset is increasing and any increase in asset is debited. Therefore, cash account is debited. And the note receivable got decrease will be credited and the interest revenue is also credited.

Computation of interest revenue is as:

Interest revenue = Amount * % of note * Days / Number of days in a year

= $10,000 * 6% * 60 / 360

= $100

Note: Assume 360 days in a year
