Plunder inc. accepted a six-month noninterest-bearing note for $2,800 on january 1, 2021. the note was accepted as payment of a delinquent receivable of $2,500. what is the correct entry to record the note?

The correct entry is:

Jan 1st, 2021

Dr Non-interest-bearing note Receivable   $2,800

Cr Account Receivable                                $2,500

Cr Unearned Interest Revenue                   $300

(to record the acceptance of the non-interest-bearing note)

Explanation:

Although the note is non-interest-bearing, the acceptance for $2,800 note due in six-month for the currently due Receivable of $2,500 does imply that Plunder Inc. accept delay of receivable repayment for another 6 months at the interest income required of $300 ( 2,800 - 2,500).

This $300 is not earned at the time of note acceptance, instead, it is earned throughout the period of 6 months of the note; thus, it is recorded as unearned interest income.

That is why we have the journal entries as shown above in the Answer part.

watch how they communicate and watch how they handle their free time
