Explanation:
The journal entry is as follows
On January 15
Accounts receivable $5,356
To Note receivable $5,200
To Interest revenue $26
To Interest receivable $130
(Being cash received in respect of note receivable, interest accrual is recorded)
The computation of interest receivable is shown below:
= Principal × rate of interest × number of days ÷ (total number of days in a year)
= $5,200 × 12% × (75 days ÷ 360 days)
= $130
The 75 days is counted from October 17 to December 31
And, the total amount is
= Principal × rate of interest × number of days ÷ (total number of days in a year)
= $5,200 × 12% × (90 days ÷ 360 days)
= $156
