Answer 1

Answer:

d. Debit to Interest Receivable of $6,510.

Explanation:

Interest receivable for 7 months (June 1 - December 31) = $11,160 * (7/12) = $6,510

Therefore, the proper adjusting entry at December 31, 2018, with regard to this note receivable includes a debit to Interest Receivable of $6,510.
