What is the journal entry for receiving the payment of the note and interest?

Answer 1

Answer:

At the time of receiving the document, the client's debt is canceled and the registration of the document plus interest is recorded (2000 x 0.05 = 100)

notes receivable      2.100

Accounts Receivable       2.000

interest to accrue                 100

 

then at the time of payment (we assume  its in cash, we record the income, the cancellation of the document and the interest earned.

Cash                      2,100

Interest to accrue      100

nterest income               100

Receivable notes         2.100
