The journal entry is shown below:

On December 31:

Interest Receivable A/c Dr $252

To Interest revenue $252

(Being accrued interest recorded)

On February 1

Cash A/c Dr $10,416

To Interest Receivable $252

To Interest revenue $84

To Notes receivable $10,080

(Being received amount is recorded)

The interest revenue is computed by

= Notes receivable * 10% * (number of month : total number of months in a year)

=$10,080 * 10% * (1 month : 12 months)

= $84

The 1 month is calculated from December 31 to February 1
