Question

Sandhill Corporation loaned $590000 to another corporation on December 1, 2020 and received a 3-month, 6% interest-bearing note with a face value of $590000. What adjusting entry should Sandhill make on December 31, 2020?

Answer 1

Answer: Debit Interest Receivable and credit Interest Revenue, $2950

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, we have to calculate the interest accrued and this will be:

= $590,000 × 6% × 1/12

= $590,000 × 0.06 × 0.08333

= $2949.882

= $2950 approximately

Therefore, the adjusting entry that Sandhill should make on December 31, 2020 will be to:

Debit Interest Receivable and credit Interest Revenue, $2950
