Explanation of Solution

Working note:

For May 17:

Calculate the amount of interest revenue.

Interestrevenue=[Face amount ×Annual interest rate×Time in terms of year]=[$28,000×6%100×60 days360 days]=$280 (1)

For June 15:

Calculate the amount of sales.

Sales = Gross sales 1%Discount=$17,700($17,700×1%)=$17,700$177=$17,523 (2)

For July 21:

Calculate the amount of interest revenue.

Interestrevenue=[Face amount ×Annual interest rate×Time in terms of year]=[$18,000×8%100×30 days360 days]=$120 (3)

For September 19:

Calculate the amount of interest revenue.

Interestrevenue=[Face amount ×Annual interest rate×Time in terms of year]=[$18,000×9%100×60 days360 days]=$270 (4)

For November 13:

Calculate the amount of interest revenue.

Interestrevenue=[Face amount ×Annual interest rate×Time in terms of year]=[$20,000×6%100×30 days360 days]=$100 (5)

For December 28:

Calculate the amount of interest revenue.

Interestrevenue=[Face amount ×Annual interest rate×Time in terms of year]=[$20,100×8%100×45 days360 days]=$201 (6)

For the sales made on account, accounts receivable has to be increased and sales have to be increased. Hence,

  • An increase in accounts receivable (asset account) is debited, and
  • An increase in sales (stockholders’ equity account) is credited.

For recording the cost of goods sold, merchandise inventory has to be decreased, and cost of goods sold has to be recognized. Hence,

  • An increase in cost of goods sold (expense account) is debited, and
  • An increase in merchandise inventory (asset account) is credited.

For the note received on account, note receivable has to be created and accounts receivable has to be eliminated. Hence,

  • An increase in notes receivable (asset account) is debited, and
  • A decrease in accounts receivable (asset account) is credited.

For the note received on granting loan, note receivable has to be created and accounts cash has to be decreased. Hence,

  • An increase in notes receivable (asset account) is debited, and
  • A decrease in cash (asset account) is credited.

For the cash collected on note along with interest, cash has to be increased, note receivable has to be eliminated, and interest revenue has to be recognized. Hence,

  • An increase in cash (asset account) is debited,
  • A decrease in notes receivable (asset account) is credited, and
  • An increase in interest revenue (stockholders’ equity account) is credited.

For the note dishonored at maturity date, accounts receivable has to be created, note receivable has to be eliminated, and interest revenue has to be recognized. Hence,

  • An increase in accounts receivable (asset account) is debited,
  • A decrease in notes receivable (asset account) is credited, and
  • An increase in interest revenue (stockholders’ equity account) is credited.
