Credit Sales Revenue $660,000

To record the sale of goods in exchange for a 5-year, zero-interest-bearing note in the face amount of $1,062,937.

(b) December 31, 2020:

Debit Interest Receivable (Goosen Inc.) $55,000

To record the interest receivable for 10 months on the note.

Explanation:

The sale of goods will be recorded net of the interest.  Interest Receivable from Goosen Inc. will be accumulated until when it is settled by Goosen Inc. at the end of the note's 5-year life.  By that time, the interest must have accumulated to $402,937 compounded yearly.
