To record cash collection of the note and interest.

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.

credit history is used by lenders to determine whether you are a 'risky' person to give their money to.

having a short history provide very little data for the lenders. they wouldn't be able to determine your credit behavior from such a small samples. even if they are perfect.

having long credit history with few blemishes provide larger and more accurate data for the lenders to predict your credit behavior.
