Android Products, Inc., agreed to accept a $1,000, one-year, 10 percent note from C. Mate. On its maturity date of December 16, Mate honors the note by making a payment of $1,100. That payment consisted of the principal of $1,000 plus interest in the amount of $100 (computed as $1,000 × 10%).
Prepare the necessary December 16 entry for Android by selecting the account names from the drop-down menus and entering the dollar amounts in the debit or credit columns.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Cash A/c Dr $1,100

        To Interest revenue $100

        To Note receivable $1,000

(Being cash received in respect of note receivable, interest accrual is recorded)

The computation of accrued interest is shown below:

= Principal × rate of interest × number of months ÷ (total number of months in a year)  

= 1,000 × 10%

= $100
