Question

On March 15, Viking Office Supply agrees to accept $1,200 in cash along with a $2,800, 60-day, 15 percent note from one of its customers to settle his $4,000 past-due account. Prepare the March 15 entry for Viking Office Supply by selecting the account names from the drop-down menus and entering the dollar amounts in the debit or credit columns.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cash debit 1,200

Note Receivable debit 2,800

Account Receivable credit 4,000

Explanation:

The accounting will reflect the receipt of cash and the note at their principal.

The interest of the note will ge accrued with the past of time. Currently no interest was earned, so we don't have to post anything related to the interest of the note.

We just write-off the account receivable of the customer and declare how we settle.
