Answer and Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

a. Note receivable Dr $3,800,000

To Cash $3,800,000

(Being the acceptance of the note is recorded)

For recording this we debited the note receivable as it increased the assets and credited the cash as it decreased the liabilities

b. Interest receivable Dr $38,000

To Interest revenue $38,000

(Being the interest revenue is recorded)

For recording this we debited the interest receivable as it increased the assets and credited the interest revenue as it increased the revenue

The computation is shown below:

= $3,800,000 * 6% * 2 months : 12 months

= $38,000
