Explanation / Answer

(A) Notes Receivable up to 30 Sept. = 18200 + 17400 + 4600 + 19800 = 60000

Interest Receivable up to 30 Sept.

RES = 18200 x 5% x 6/12 = 455

Ihara = 17400 x 6% x 1/12 = 87

Dragon = 4600 x 9% x 1/12 = 34.50 = 35

MGH = 19800 x 4% x 1/12 = 66

Total Interest Receivable up to 30 Sept = 455 + 87+ 35+ 66 = $643

Answer 2

Interest due to MGH & Ihara up to 30 Sept = 87+66 = $153

Oct 1 Debit Cash A/c 153

Credit Interest Receivable 153

For Dragon Note

Total Amount Due to dragon on Oct 31 = 4600 + (4600 x 9% x 2/12) = 4600 + 69 = 4669

Oct 31 Debit A/c Receivable 4669

Credit Notes Receivable 4600

Credit Interest Receivable 69

For RES Note matured

Interest on RES Notes = 18200 x 5% x 7/12 = 530.83 = $531

Oct 31 Debit Cash 18731

Credit Notes Receivable 18200

Credit Interest Receivable 531

For Accrued interest on Ihara & MGH

Accrued Interes on Ihara & MGH for one month = 87 + 66 = $153

Oct 31 Debit Interest Receivable 153

Credit Interest Revenue 153

For uncollictibility of Ihara note

Oct 31 Debit Uncollectible Notes Expenses 17400

Credit Allowance for Doubt full A/cs 17400

So above is the solution
