Question

ABC Corp. received a 2-month, 8% per year, $1,500 note receivable on December 1. The adjusting entry on December 31 will include a ______. Multiple choice question. debit to Interest Revenue of $10 debit to Interest Receivable of $10 credit to Interest Receivable of $20 credit to Interest Revenue of $120

Answer 1

Answer:

debit to Interest Receivable of $10

Explanation:

In the first place, at the end of December, it would have been a month since the note receivable was received, which means that the interest for 1-month would have become due, in other words, the interest for 1 month is computed thus:

interest due=8%*1/12*$1,500

interest due=$10

The interest has not been received, the claims that the other party owes us $10 means that we would debit interest receivable with $10(asset) and we would credit interest revenue (income) because an increase in the asset is a debit entry whereas an increased income would have a credit entry.

As a result, the correct option has a value of $10 and a debit to interest receivable since there is no credit to interest revenue in the option
