Vicente Stout · Answer 1

B. Debit Cash $8,262; credit Interest Revenue $162; credit Notes Receivable $8,100.

Explanation:

The journal entry to record the payment at the maturity date is as follows:

Cash Debit $8,262

Interest revenue Credit $162

Notes receivable Credit $8,100

Calculation: Interest revenue = $8,100 * 8% = (648 : 360) * 90 = $162

Therefore, cash = Interest revenue + Notes receivable = $162 + $8,100 = $8,262.

Therefore, option B is correct.
