Answer:
Journalize the following transactions for the Scott company:
Nov 4. Received a $6,500, 90-day, 6% Note from Michael Tim's in payment of his account.
Dr Notes receivable 6,500
Cr Accounts receivable 6,500
Dec 31. Accrued interest on the Tim's note.
Dr Interest receivable ($6,500 x 6% x 57/365) = 60.90
Cr Interest revenue 60.90
Feb 2. Received the amount due from Tim's on his note.
Dr Cash 6,596.16
Cr Notes receivable 6,500
Cr Interest receivable 60.90
Cr Interest revenue 35.26
I did all my calculation based on a 365 day calendar year. Generally banks calculate interest on a 360 day calendar year.
