Answer:

$280.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided

Overdue accounts receivable = $8,000

Note percentage = 14%

The computation of accrued interest on the note is shown below:-

Accrued interest = Overdue accounts receivables × Note percentage × Remaining month (From Oct to Dec)

= $8,000 × 14% × 3 ÷ 12

= $8,000 × 14% × 0.25

= $280.00

therefore for computing the accrued interest we simply applied the above formula.
