cash                       40,170 debit

        note receivable                39,000 credit

        interest receivable                390 credit

        interest revenue                    780 credit

--May 1st collection of the note--

Explanation:

First, we record the sales revenue and we enter the promissory note at his nominal. Interest will be accrued as the time past.

interest for the period Nov 1st - Dec 31th

prncipal x rate x time

we must always have rate adn time in the same metric so we express the mont has fraction of year:

39,000 x 6% x 2/12  = 390

collection of the note

cash procceds: principal + interest

39,000 x (1 + 6% x 6/12)  = 40,170

we write off both receivables, the note and the interest,

and we recognize interest revenue for the difference

40,170 - 39,000 - 390 = 780
