Answer and Explanation:

The journal entries are given below:

1.  Notes receivable A/c Dr $450,000

          To Cash A/c            $450,000

(To record the notes receivable acceptance)

2. Interest receivable A/c Dr $40,500

      To Interest revenue  $40,500

(to record the interest is collected)

Interest = Principal × rate of interest × number of months ÷ (total number of months in a year)

= $450,000 × 12% × (9 months ÷ 12 months)

= $40,500

The 9 months is calculated from April 1 to December 31

3.  Cash A/c Dr $504,000

             To Notes receivable A/c $450,000

             To  Interest receivable A/c $40,500

             To Interest revenue A/c      $13,500

(To record the cash collected)

Interest revenue = Principal × rate of interest × number of months ÷ (total number of months in a year)

= $450,000 × 12% × (3 months ÷ 12 months)

= $13,500

The 3 months is calculated from December 31 to April 1
