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.

The interest expense on the notes is calculated as: Principal x Interest Rate x Time

In this case, the total interest expense is $95,000 x 66%/12 x 9 months = $47,025.

Monthly interest expense is $47,025 / 9 months = $5,225.

For accrual purpose, Jasper Company would be recording the following journals on a monthly basis before the actual cash payment:

Debit Interest expense                 $5,225
