Answer:

20Y3

Nov. 21 :

Debit Notes receivable $66,000

Credit Accounts receivable $66,000

(To recognize notes receivable iro past due account)

Dec. 31:

Debit Interest revenue $161.33

Credit Interest receivable $161.33

(To record accrued interest on notes receivable)

Jan. 20:

Debit Cash $66,880

Credit Notes receivable $66,000

Credit Interest receivable $880

(To record payment of note and interest on Nov. 21 notes)

Explanation:

Note receivable is a promissory note with a written promise made by the borrower to the lender (payee) to pay a certain, definite sum at a specified date.

Interest revenue on the notes is calculated as: Principal x Interest Rate x Time

In this case, the total interest expense is $66,000 x 8%/12 x 2 months = $880.

Total interest expense to the Company as at December 31 is therefore $880 / 60 days x 11 days = $161.33.
