Check the explanation

Explanation:

Solution: Journal entry for the purpose would be:

Cash A/c. Dr. 4920

Interest Revenue 20

Interest Receivable 100

Note Receivable. 4800

(Being due amount on note along with the interest collected)

Note:

Total interest on Note = 4800 x 10% x90 / 360 days

= $120

Interest accrued in previous year=$ 120 x 2.5/3 = $ 100

(i. e. represent in entry by way of interest receivable)

Interest income for current period = $ (120-100) = $20

Assumed: Financial year ended on December 31st.
