Answer 1

Answer: generally charge interest from the day they are signed to the day they are collected.

Explanation:

Accounts Receivable show that a customer is owing a certain amount of money for goods that they took on credit. The customer gets to pay back a maximum of the amount of goods they actually bought because no interest is charged.

This changes with the Notes Receivable. These accrue interest from the day they are signed such that the customer will then pay the value of the notes receivable as well as the interest that it accrues on the day it is collected.

Notes Receivables are usually used by customers who are unable to pay off the accounts receivables within a certain period and so opt for a note receivable avenue instead.
