Question

Andrews Company accepted a note receivable from a credit customer who failed to pay their $2,000 Accounts Receivable balance. The customer signed a promissory note which was accepted for 9 months at 5% interest. At the end of the 9 months, the customer does not pay, so it becomes a dishonored note receivable. What is the journal entry for the dishonored note?

Answer 1

Answer:

The journal entry which is to be recorded for the dishonored note is shown below:

Explanation:

The journal entry which is to be recorded for the dishonored note is as follows:

Accounts Receivable A/c..............................Dr $2,075

       Notes Receivable A/c...................................Cr $2,000

       Interest Revenue A/c......................................Cr $75

Being the note which is received got dishonored

As the note got dishonored so the accounts receivable account will be debited against the notes receivable account and the account of interest revenue is also credited.

Working Note:

Interest revenue = Amount of notes receivable × Rate  × Months / Total number of months

= $2,000 ×5%  × 9/12

= $75
