Explanation:

a) When a note is accepted, the Accounts Receivable is credited and the Notes Receivable is debited.  This transfers the amount due from Accounts Receivable to Notes Receivable, effectively changing the nature of the debt.  Accounts Receivable does not attract interest and is granted for a limited period unlike a Notes Receivable, which attracts agreed interest.

b) On December 31, the accrued interest on Lee's note is recognized in accordance with the matching principle and accrual concepts.  Therefore, 18 days' interest is accrued as calculated above.

c) When a note receivable is settled, the Cash Account is debited with a credit to Notes Receivable and another credit to Interest Receivable on Note, if it had been accrued or Interest on Note account.

d) If a note receivable is dishonored, the accounts are reversed accordingly with a debit to the Accounts Receivable and a credit to the Notes Receivable.

e) When a dishonored note is written off, the Accounts Receivable is credited and Bad Debts is debited.
