Answer 1

Date Account Title Debit Credit

Dec 11, 2018 Interest receivable $20,600

Interest revenue $20,600

Step-by-step explanation:

The interest receivable on December 31, 2018 would be based on the lease amount at the end of the year which will be the present value of the lease less the lease amount paid for the year:

Lease amount = 240,000 - 34,000

= $206,000

Interest receivable = 206,000 * 10%

= $20,600
