Answer 1

Cash $8,568, credit Interest Revenue $28, credt Interest Receivable $140, credit Notes Receivable $8.400

Step-by-step explanation:

The journal entry in the case when the note is paid is as follows:

Cash $8,568

To Interest revenue $28 ($8,400 × 8% × 15 ÷ 360)

To Interest receivable $140 ($8,400 × 8% × 75 ÷ 360)

To Notes receivable $8,400

(To record the note receivable)

Here the cash is debited as it increased the assets while on the other hand the interest revenue, interest receivable and note receivable is credited as it increased the revenue and decreased the assets
