Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

On March 1

Notes receivable A/c Dr $10,400

To Service revenue A/c $10,400

(Being the acceptance of the note is recorded)

On September 1

Cash A/c Dr $10,868

To Notes receivable A/c $10,400

To Interest revenue A/c $468

(Being the cash collection is recorded)

The computation of the interest revenue is shown below:

= Notes receivable × interest rate × (number of months ÷ total number of months in a year)

= $10,400 × 9% × (6 months ÷ 12 months)

= $468
