Explanation:
a) The acceptance of notes receivable increases the Notes Receivable account and reduces the Cash Account by $490,000.
b) Due to the accrual concept and the matching principle, on December 31, 2021, interest on notes receivable will be accrued. This is calculated as follows:
Interest for 9 months = $490,000 x 10% x 9/12 = $36,750.
c) On April 1, 2022, when the cash collection of the note and interest is made, the Cash received will total $539,000 ($490,000 + 10% Interest for a year). This is worked as $490,000 x 10% = $49,000. But, already interest for 2021 had been accrued. The difference is now accrued in 2022.
d) The entries required are a debit to the Cash Account $539,000, a credit to Interest on Notes Receivable $36,750, to Interest on Notes $12,250, and Notes Receivable Accounts $490,000 respectively.
